A chorus of birds lifts them in song. The sun burns quickly into a smolder. I close my eyes and soar through the skies. In a blink, we are so much older. I love this verse, written so beautifully. Congratulations Linda

Linda, Im so grateful you shared your poetry here. This poem is a music being of such beauty! There are too many lines in here that resonated with me that I can't point all of them out. I think my favorite was'Songbird sisters, a magpie and crow, / pleating the wind on a slant of sky.' The images and the use of certain verbs gave the poem a bit of magic and movement. And a poem that is an ODE to the people you love is priceless.
A great poem worth reading again again and remembering as the best in recent time. Wonderful. Congrats.
