I awaken to the sound of the birds
rustling in the bushes beneath
my bedroom window, their
chirps soft as a whisper.
Wake up, little ones,
I imagine they are saying,
and in that moment, I include
myself in their family.
Sometimes, my first thoughts
upon awakening are fear for
what the day might bring.
But hearing these little birds,
well-hidden in the bush, yet
still exposed to all out there
that might do them harm,
awakening with such sweet chatter,
brushes away my fear, and I arise
to greet the day with them.
