Magpie
Fly over me again
And let me see
I am not alone
Magpie
Black and White
Until you fly
And then I can see
Wings of beauty
Magpie
Sing a captivating song
A song of truth
For only the deaf and I will listen
Magpie
Sit with me
Remind me
That the Divine is in everything
Magpie
I will feed you
I will shelter you
You are safe with me

Poet's Note: Written February 6, 2021. More hot tub inspiration. I think the Magpie is my spirit bird. There is something about this bird that captivates me. My animosity for this creature is in the past.
"I now have the patience and the ears to hear you and to see you for the beauty you bring to me and all of nature around me. Forgive me for the years I hated you. Let me bathe in the love you give. Let me find the Divine in you."
