In Among The Blackbirds.

Goldfinch60



Down the garden I go,

Bird food in hand.

Fill the feeders with seed,

Fill others with sunflower hearts,

For the Goldfinches of course.

Towards the bird table I go,

Put some seed on it,

But also the sultanas.

As I empty the packet

The Blackbirds appear

All around me in the trees,

When I put the last sultana on

A Blackbird lands near my hand,

It looks at me in gratitude,

I remove my hand and stay still.

The Blackbirds come nearer

And join each other on the table

In their first feast of the day.

I stand a look at them,

As they look at me,

Trusting me.

I thank and praise nature

That they accept me,

Accept me as a friend,

And allow me their trust

As I stand amongst them,

In amongst the Blackbirds.
