The Birds - Tanka Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

The Birds - Tanka

Rating: 5.0


Darkness greets the world
Humans counteract with force
Yet I see the birds
Singing and sweetly tweeting
Despite food is hard to find.

So true! Birds' life is not a song, and yet they sing, When things go wrong, Stoic little feathered things, Worth every word of your sweet and lovely song..

Rereading this gem, enriches my heart, each time I read this, it is just a bit different than earlier, lies herein (rereading) the great secret of our happiness? Learning from small things (the birds) to achive greater things? We will be shocked of the facts of what we really can.
