Treasure
Nests Alone
Takes eons

Savor the sun
Rise and fall
Fall and rise

Cold clear truth
Echoes up
From the dank well

 Yay for the expanding Birdsong!
Yay for the birds!
Yay for avian harmonies!
Yay for less cars on the freeway!

 Is this unexpected blessing,
 from this devastating tragedy,
happening because there are more birds now,
or because we can hear them better without freeway sound overload,
or because they feel safer now,
or because I’ve slowed down enough to really listen?

 It doesn’t matter.
Birds!
Birds!
Blessed Birds!
Sing us home.

Sunset poem on my 70th - Evangel King

April 26, 2020. Sunset 7:55 PM.
Berkeley, CA.


Sunset poem on my 70th
This very afternoon
In the heart of bloom
Comes

The sweetest desire
So secret
The garden

6 feet apart
No touch
All honored

We dance
Spinning
Each heart’s desire
As one

This very sunset
Ringing out
Day for Night’s
Stealthy return

Earth our home
Spinning
Brings Day
Brings Sunset
Brings Night
Brings Sunrise
Again, again, again …
-Evangel King
