morning salutation

whispered oneness of the wild things,
 i crave you
sound of simultaneous songbird flight,
 i hear you
frantic frenzy of the one left behind,
i root for you
i close my eyes
and let my bird parts quiver ...
they shiver,
they shake,
 they flutter,
they fly,
they soar,
they sing,
 they take
and they bring
the joy of the sky,
the life of the field
my hollow bones,
dainty feet,
 feathered wing,
your song in my throat,
it gurgles up
 joyously
 and i let myself sing -
for with you
and in you,
I AM
this morning's queen
