Dear Readers,
Recently I discovered a song that made me think of my inner child as a little bird. I call it my recovery anthem. I love to sing it at the top of my lungs. Especially while I’m driving. Imagine my delight when Katharine submitted this poem! I hope we can all listen carefully to our little birds this week. Listen past that critical voice and hear our own true song.
Take good care of yourself, and remember to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
Your moderator,
Kira
torch song for the little bird
By Katharine Angelina Love
early morning light
softly illuminates
the etching of a
bird on my blush
coloured wall.
“be careful with whom
you share
your little efforts
at staying luminescent.”
says the brown bird
perhaps a wren,
perhaps a swallow.
“now is your time to bring
your brightest self to the world,
even though.”
i say to my small unfurling self
that is almost ready to fly.
