Brotherhood of Birds It's an amazing thing to me, Birds, living independently, Awake upon some autumn day And know it's time to fly away. You hear a change within their song And then it isn't very long, Before you see them gathering. There is a different note they sing That holds excitement, as they breeze Across the fields to fill the trees And chatter there awhile before They take to air again once more. Once launched, they never turn around. The air is filled with rushing sound Of many feathered wings in flight. There's something stirring in the sight. I watch them and I wonder when They'll all come back to earth again. Something tells them it's migration. Not just here in our own nation, But other countries too, can see This brotherhood of birds, like we. Their leaving adds a somber note, To sounds escaping from each throat! |

Nature's timetable. One group goes and another comes and they never seem to overlap. It is miraculous and you write about it beautifully. Love, Joyce |

Dear Joyce: Thanks. It's that time of year and we are losing our summer birds. Haven't seen the winter ones yet, but the crickets are sure busy! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

even here in Florida where the temperatures are in the blazing 90,s still, the hummingbirds are gone...this is a beautiful piece my friend...thank you for sharing. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

pegasus111: I am surprised that the hummingbirds leave where you are. You'd. think it would be so similar to where they winter, they would stay. They have been gone here for about ten days now. I always miss them! Thanks for commenting. Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
