I am paying close attention
to the birdsong
this spring.
They stop me at the window
in the yard
on a walk or
on the way to the car.
“We have something to say to you!”
“Are you listening?”
As a small girl
I would lie down in the cool
shaded grass
looking up into the green leaves
deciphering the birdsong
code –
the chattering, whistling,
singing from one branch
to another:
“Come to tea!”
“Don’t forget to feed your babies!”
Now they are singing
sweet reminders:
“Slow down,
no need to rush.”
“Don’t take life
so seriously.”
“Enjoy this moment with us.”
“We have a secret
we want to sing to you.”
