Joy in the Melody of the Sparrow’s Song (Sonnet)

Joy in the melody of the sparrow’s song,

I sit in wonderment at the skies varied palette.

As though an observer, I feel I don’t belong,

Second fiddle in this heavenly ballad.

.

Yet my premise is false, I am part the story,

Woven into the fabric of our universe.

Sharing in its pain and relishing in its glory,

Though my time is for certain most terse.

.

Revealing in it’s beauty, I’m astonished by the day,

How perfection could have happen by chance.

A Universal Spirit must surely have had it’s way,

In this earthly and spiritual fire dance.

.

With each passing day, O’ how little I know,

Though I wouldn’t miss the chance to see the show.

.

    I heard the tweets of a cardinal couple yesterday. It was wonderful. I do love hearing the birds sing. There is something about the voices and sweet little bodies as they fly by. Wonderful;). xx

      It is, spring has been here in Arizona for quite some time now. I’ve had my vegetable garden planted for a few weeks now, with upper 70’s to low 80’s as our temperature average. Simply beautiful.

        Sounds great. A garden certainly can help make everything seem better.
