From the cold north………. enjoy!
Bird in “pane”
I heard a noise
But nothing there
Looking out
‘ just snow, cold air
Glancing down
A finch in the snow
Hit the window
Landed below
He sat in a daze
Not moving his wings
His head, inside
Was hearing rings
I went outside
He didn’t move
Cradled in my hand
He seemed to approve
Once in the house
‘ looked right at home
Pooped on my finger
I said “shalom”
Back outside
He seemed alert
‘ couldn’t tell
He’d been hurt
He gave me a wink
And flew away
‘ twas a happy sight
It made my day!
