Night Song lingered gently as sunlight broke open the sky,
ducks stirred
in their feathers,
and sparrows began their day
painting the canvas
of the blue sky.

As white cranes with black legs, slowly meander through the reeds
sifting food, a turtle is brave enough to break the surface
of the pond, and a spring rain falls causing
a young couple to run laughing, to hide
under the cover of large green leaves.
And the white cranes,
stand in the rain pouring.

By the stream, a catbird calls for its mate either angry or in love, in the brush of leaves
and branches. And the blue jay bullies the sparrows, taking over their nest, while in the sky
a hawk loses the fight with a group blackbirds. Perhaps the hummingbird knows
best, by being too quick for any to really see him, and the sweetness
of flowers has always been less hostile
than stealing eggs.
