Three Little Birds



Three Little Birds © by Alma de la Melena Cox

Three Little Birds,
outside my doorstep,
sang me a melody pure,
upon their visit,
gracing me
with sweet presence,
flying in on footsteps
to climb a staircase
toward Heaven's
intentions,
for a family needing
healing understanding.
Together they opened
a door to a single cage
in my Redwood cathedral
where the littlest bird's
words flew deep and wide
over this canopy
of Pure Life, she said
"We don't pick our family,
but if I could, I'd pick
the two of you again,"
The forest roots
heard, reached for each
other with tender care
through the veil,
while love and wisdom
flew on wings
rightly,
from my doorstep.
