Meanwhile Back at the Nest
Only through dialogue with nature and the animal kingdom can we hope to fathom the human condition. Such conversation enables us to establish a fresh benchmark by which to gauge the significance of what it takes to be human in a truer sense of the word. This collection of poems represents the findings of a man who is still very much a work in progress!
beyond observer’s books
and climbing boys
there nests a bird
that only takes
to wing
to prey
on feeble-minded men
designed for toil
and useful days
but who stand too long
and gaze
gathering sunlight at its tail
it swoops unseen
and strikes
with song caresses
ear and mind
while talons grip
the heart
and choke all talk
this bird
part nightingale
part hawk

Melancholy of the Heart - Echoes on the Wind

As an only child she felt lost and isolated until her gift made itself known to her. This gift gave her a reason to live in a world she barely understood. She was not prepared however for the toll on her emotional and physical self her gift would exact from her, never knowing when she would be called upon to help those no longer of this time find forgiveness.
