April 10, 2011


Call them my birds of spring,
the kestrel and the meadowlark,
each reigning from its perch;


one silent and sharp,
a study in vigilance,
the other seeming heedless,


whose song rolls on without end,
but likely no less watchful;
both reading all the notes


about to burst across a field
poised to leave winter behind,
ready for the work of eternity.
