    Transitions

near a forest meadow
as night pales
  into dawn…

a wooded thrush
sings alone
for no one

near a forest meadow
as twilight deepens
  into night…

a woodland willow
weeps alone
for all!

I could sit and listen to this thrush song
forever, especially:
"near a forest meadow
as night pales
  into dawn"

"...I meant, not even if asked;
and I hadn't been."

This is a gorgeous little poem, perfectly balanced and poignantly expressed. From now on, I'm going to make sure I read more of you.

This is truly a finely crafted, well thought out poem to be read, re-read ... savored.
