Mourning doves
lament the dawn
The air is filled
with clucking song
Mockingbirds
sing sweet and high
Pigeons reach
to touch the sky
Gamble Quail
swoop low to ground
Cactus wrens
make chuckling sounds
Desert Thrashers
go "tsk, tsk, TSK!"
Flickers pound
the satellite discs
Feathered finches
search the stones
Light as clouds
with hollow bones
I wake up
to symphonic calls
Desert birds...
I love them ALL!

Sitting outside I love to watch
and listen to my neighborhood
buddies. They ROCK!
There's GOT to be a God to
make such creatures!
