The Mindfulness of Birds

                       The Positive Way

                       Does the dove nesting in the cold rain

know that she is resolute?

Do the meadowlarks in summer

remember that winter comes?

Do the geese in autumn

decide to fly away?

Does the robin in winter

understand that he is miserable?

Do the eagles fly free and secure

knowing they have wings?

And does the swallow think about her song

or does she simply – sing?
