BREAK/FAST (A Dream-Based Poem)
BREAK/FAST
We stand outside in the gloom
watching as birdseed cascades
from the broken window feeder
"But we have to fix it," I say,
"Or we'll have flocks
of wild birds gathering"
"Exactly," he says, an elfin grin
on his golden face
I spin around to look toward the east,
my hungry spirit
lofting with the sun
We stand outside in the gloom
watching as birdseed cascades
from the broken window feeder
"But we have to fix it," I say,
"Or we'll have flocks
of wild birds gathering"
"Exactly," he says, an elfin grin
on his golden face
I spin around to look toward the east,
my hungry spirit
lofting with the sun

I'm not sure when I wrote this poem, but it has to be close to 20 years old. I know I was living in my current home because at the time of the dream I had been considering setting up a bird feeder on the terrace. Hm. I just remembered that a roommate who moved in some time after the dream did start feeding the birds from our terrace. :-)

That's a lovely poem - I can see the flocks gathering!
I'm glad you can see them. :-) It was one of those dreams that really lifted my spirits.
