such be a portrait of supernal grace
behold I in soul's place
birds in triune in a visitation sweet
the wondrous of spirit lovingly she to greet
behold I this moment of nurturance divine
within her heart I place mine
caressed by the warmth of God's light she be
beauty in devotional Praise onto Thee.

As I listen with the brilliant light
of the afternoon Sun
in a sky of lambent blue,
casting its light in the window
next to where I am writing this,
I am beholden to the artistry,
to the music,
to the spirit that is SPRING.
Come listen with me.
