Morning re-centering

Sometimes, even the birds

house sparrows sketch, Jessica Kantrowitz

Just because I am overwhelmed
doesn’t mean you are too much

Sometimes even the birds
sing too loudly for me
and I have to close the window

But in that new quiet
I can better dream about
the utter gift and beauty

(that is birdsong)
(that is you)
