Saved By A Robin.

Goldfinch60

I was saved from death!

A herd of horses were charging at me

When suddenly the glorious sound of a robin

Woke me from my dream.

I lay there listening to the song,

The beautiful song of the bird.

Such a small creature

But such a loud sound,

Whose voice showed me the Glory,

The Glory of this world,

Where even horses are gentle.

    They sing at night, sometimes, here in the New England Summer time. Glad he woke you from the bad dream to a beautiful song and new day Goldfinch!

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you WBL. Robins are the first bird to sing in the mornings and the last bird to sing at night.

    • Michael Edwards

      Also one of the most promiscuous of birds so they've got a lot to sing about. Good read and well written.

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you Michael and very true.

        • Garry

          Really. Well i never.

          Good write. Why were those horses charging at you? I can't get all psychological about it this time of the morning. I shall only get another headache for thinking too much!

        • orchidee

          Doh! A guy was less sympathetic. He said 'I will ******** kill that dawn chorus, keep waking me up!' oohh.

          • Goldfinch60

            The dawn chorus is wondrous.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you WW, I do enjoy hearing the birds in the morning.

              Thanks BROTHER ~ Horses in dreams represent energy and the image can be positive or negative ! If they are charging at you ~ they can indicate "trouble ahead". Robins are symbols of faithfulness and calm ~ it indicates that someone (or an Angel) is watching over you ! Thanks for sharing ~ so graphically ! BRIAN

              What a wonderful write. And a nice way to wake up and start your day--with a chorus of a robins song to listen to.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Christina. It is a great way to wake up.

              Oh, nice one. A dream gone astray, or like you said , maybe a rescue, or maybe there are herds of gentle horses. I always await the return of robins to the trees, I then know spring has arrived and I can put away the shovel, and bring out the garden tools. You got me thinking spring thoughts. Thank you. - Phil A.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Phil. Spring thoughts are good, new life abounds around us.
