keep me more like

keep me more like
a little joyful bird
in my heart

you see them
playing in any kind
of sky storm or calm

full of delight
that never ends
all day long

never weighed
down these larks
of happiness

free in any
kind of
sky

Simplicity, humility and trust are the spiritual attributes of birds. Jesus and St. Francis pointed to birds as examples for we anxious human beings. Your poem put me in mind of their teachings. The wholistic understanding that we are here with nature as a guide. We do not tame nature so much as nature teaches us.

A beautifully positive snippet of prose, cleverly crafted.
