I hear a bird at daybreak,
singing his heart out
in the side yard,
as if it was its sole responsibility
to make the sun come up.
As it chirps its solo,
the sky brightens
and I listen for
the choir of other birds
to begin.
But all falls silent,
as if the sun was
up far enough for now
blushing pink light
across the sky.
As if it was time
to be still
and take it all in.

Thanks Jerry. As long as I can still hear the birds sing and appreciate them I'm doing okay.

He [it] or she seems to alternate between reaching up and clapping.

A fine accolade either way!
