Words of Birds

The secret of the universe is in the song of birds
But only if you’re tuned to it, so listen to the words
A tweet for when the sun is out, tweet tweet for when it’s not
A cheep means that it’s chilly, and a caw says that it’s hot

‘Scree’ says screaming Eagle when he’s really having fun
Whistle says an Osprey when he’s found a Salmon run
Peep peep means a chickadee is just too tired to think
Adding ‘chit’ means anything except the kitchen sink

So when you’re out there wandering, listen for the pondering
of contemplative, meditative, indigenous and those non-native
birds of a feather, speaking together, some perhaps forecasting weather
Predicting tides, giving Condor rides, wings beat Morse code at their sides

Learn the language of a Boobie, he’s no Loon, his throat is ruby
Understand them, helping hand them, don’t let people go and ‘man’ them
Talk with birds, learn their words, it’s not so hard when done in thirds
Join the conversation, the Earth-wide celebration, come and be a part of the avian nation

You will know it when you’re done, all who (walk swim fly or run)-will speak as one!

OK, the website is complete. Sure, I'll add stuff from time to time as I continue writing, but this new site on weebly is done. Two straight weeks at my computer desk! And if you somehow read it all and still thirst for more, there's my cool blog at: http://littleshell.earthsourcemedia.org

If you love the new website, you can share it with your friends too...

With much love, JJR
