As I Too Wait For Redbird To Sing

Mountains in Motion






all night my heart
makes its way
however it can
over the rough ground
of uncertainties,
but only until night
meets and then is
overwhelmed by morning,
the light deepening,
the wind easing
and just waiting,
as i too wait
(and when have i
ever been disappointed?)
for redbird to sing
