Sparrows Rush
By: Noah Eaton
6/12/01

High upon the silent aerie
This singing sparrow twitters naturally
Resuscitating through song
Desiring love all day long
Blanketed by its Lord impenetrable calling

Gracing with sister waft in dreamy gouatte
Harmonizing with the forces of nature in the updraft
Contributing to nature’s hosanna
Resting in His hands and feeding on His seeds and granola
Eliciting mine blessings in His lap

The garden is but my only hideaway
Nature my foster bride to whom I respectably relate
Daffodil desires sousing cotton dreams
Ruby-throated hummingbird cousins teasing the eglantines
Hanging inside these halcyon days

Whistling ‘neath the canopy at gloaming
Feathered in the moonlight where I am dreaming
Of flying with a sweetheart by my side
Lovebirds cooing to one another for all our time
Drinking from the holy birdbath together in this coterie

Altruism my second wind, yet still a rudimentary sparrow
Learning to love forever, bellowing to behold
Sharing my nest with the sparrow of my heart
Making the sparrows rush each day, God carrying us far
And wearing my white crown high, hearing her heavenly scherzo

This seemed almost like a song itself. Gentle, meaningful, relaxing...it all just flowed together so well.

Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins

Freedom comes when you learn to live unafraid.
