Blue Bird
early this
morning
I heard
a tap
at my window
and looked across
the room
it was the blue bird
who visited just last year
come back
to say,
“hello, hello, hello,
do you remember me …”
I smile
he’s grown so much
and has so much to say
his wings have carried him
to the other side of the shore
where he’s met all manner of being
I wonder what he’s learned
he says he’ll come back tomorrow
bright and early
and tell me
all about it
