early at 4:45 AM the sounds reach in through my windows
as the early choir of birds sing their way into my being
offering their song for the day, their hope for joy
streaming through the sunlit beams of dreams
beckoning me out of my comfort
promising to fly with me through the maze
winging their way through Mother Earth
accompanying me out of the purple haze
chirping with delight, innocence… so free
with courage and daring they go into flight
angel wings carrying them out to SEE
promising another day to live with delight!
