Hanks Pond West October 16, 2022

free as a bird

Nothing but good news these days 

In our insular little microcosm

Every potential problem cleared away

Allowing us to breathe easily


Everything all set for our winter escape

Inhabiting a series of subtropical stays

Migrating beyond the reach of snow and ice 

Not coming back until the trees leaf out again


Lucky for us we have the resources

Able to live life going where we please

In good health with minimal requirements

Enjoying a happy time together


In a sensory woods following along a stream

In a swamp overgrown with damp plant exuberance 

In a field filled with seductive flowers and flitting insects 

On a beach by ourselves exploring low tide flats


Where nature surrounds us existing outside of us

Where we immerse ourselves enjoying every day

Where you will find the birds if you care to look

And where we ourselves are free as a bird
