Blackbird

I stepped inside the kitchen to find black bird.

Caught unaware she flew against the window.

Stop did I - eye her, black bird eye.

All the world ceased and checked in with this creature of great importance.

She brought me back to wonder.

The wonder of this moment - Pregnant with the meaning of the

vast empire expanse universe

Found, in that one

b-e-a-d-y eye

Pointing me in the direction of silence and stillness.

Enabling her to depart

pitter patter - claw feet on wood board,

ease-fully out the front door

Every now and again, and more often than usual

I see her - look up from my silent meditation and get the full force of her

naked wildness

Just hopping by -

Bless my blackbirds -

Every beak, and tender glances

They open my heart to similar things - We are all pointing at the things

that makes us

most happy and alive.
