My heart flies with happiness
Like the thoughts of a free bird
That greets me at a foggy dawn
I smile with the happy bird
As she settles on the warmth of my palm
With a stroke of a fingertip on the layers of her soft feathers
She closes her eyes
And lay her small head on the cushion of my hand with trust
I kiss her softly
She stirs
And she opens her eyes with a loving demeanor to look at me
Suddenly
She starts humming a beautiful melody of sunshine
A melody that brings love to any cold feelings
In a foggy dawn with joy
A melody that makes the sun rise with a projection of peace
And for the dawn to engage with glory
Of prairie lights once again
