Sanctuary
Bird chatter echoes mutual greetings
psalms praising morning light
promising enrapturing return
before light fades to dusk this night.
Birds echo wild canopy cathedrals
in trees of life majestic chatter,
underflight of bees and insect buzz
growing conjoined climax
before evening’s quiet sung massive eulogy
consecrates this flying day’s compline,
graceful deep dark dream delight.
Liturgy of Earth flight song
echoes shattering sanctifying light,
entering as exiting each shared dark
mythic mourning park
deep listening embark
into right rest
free flight sanctuary night.
