Pilot

I decide

where and when

I go

next.

I’ve always had wings

but never realized

I, alone,

am the pilot.

Faith Song

Faith is a bird

patiently waiting

for its mate

to return,

keeping a spot

on the branch,

for soon

its partner will land

again.

Listen for the echo

of the bird song:

faith

is knowing

it will

come.

Lost Songs

Such soothing,

soulful secrets

lost in the

songs unheard;

step outside,

close your eyes,

and silently

listen to the

wisdom

of the birds.
