Birdsong
by
Maeve Huang
 
Still so close to heaven,
not yet touching earth,
God's gentle fingers
stroked your downy cheek
and you were born.

Sun came upon a life
where before only rain fell,
a seed carried on a newborn's cry
took root as life's purpose.

A hazy cloak covers a forgotten past,
and in its ever changing folds, a future
billows out upon the breeze,
No need to hide beneath it anymore.

Trees once holding barren branches
are now full of joyous birdsong
singing, you have come!
