Psalms

Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.

Psalm 104:12

Emerging from tepals,
I simply listen
to the birds’
morning songs
before the wakening
and bustle
of the world
in which we both
belong,
before the sun itself
beats its rays down;
thank you, Lord,
for the gradual
transitions
and living Psalms.
