Sitting on the step
In the brightness of morning –
Different bird songs
Sitting on the step
In the brightness of morning –
Different bird songs
Glistening in the Sun
Just larger than bleeding hearts –
Beak moist with nectar
Birds singing outside
The light of day creeping in –
Nature’s alarm clock
The birds have arrived
The birdfeeder is empty
Squirrel runs away
Echoes of bird songs
Amidst the dense green bamboo —
Still misty from dawn
