“Greeting Wild Robin”
12.3.09
Each morn'
Before sunrise
Outside my window in a holly tree
Waits
A plump, orange-breasted Robin.
Upon opening shutters
We greet
With our eyes,
head tilted in curiosity.
Benevolent Glances.
Together we watch the dawn rising
Over frosted rooftops
Until she begins to sing,
And poop and eat red berry,
Eyes meeting mine now and again;
Until one of us must needs
Travel on our way
Into the sunlit day
Perchance, full,
With Wild Communion,
We, two,
Companioned Souls.

Are you looking ways to deepen your meditation and prayer life?
Do you desire a closer walk with the Divine each and every day?
Would you like to “try on” different styles of praying?

needs to be enkindled
by our acts of love,
our emptiness,
our reaching out.”
