I Pray to the Birds
I pray to the birds because I believe they will carry
the messages of my heart upward. I pray to them because
I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin
and end each day -- the invocations and benedictions of Earth.
I pray to the birds because they remind me of what I love
rather than what I fear. And at the end of my prayers,
they teach me how to listen.
