It takes courage to br real.

 It feels safer to pretend

to ourselves and to each other.

  Thus we hide behind our masks

feeling safe but unseen.

Those birds had a lot

to say as they flew by,

but I couldn’t understand  

such elevated talk.

After the sudden rain

this magical creature

appeared at our door.

Whether it bore a message

or was a message,

I don’t know, but its silent

beauty spoke to my soul.

JDG

It looked like some sort

of ceremonial  dance,

making me wonder

if those two birds were courting

or had just gotten married,

though I do know for certain

 Knox and the cats were not invited.

Hoping March doesn’t

discover her inner lion

and begin to roar. Her gentle

 lamb side is much preferred.
