Raven Out On A Limb
Raven’s back turned still,
perched on limb in desert light—
holds a silent watch.

Two Ravens
Twin shapes on a branch,
one croaks low, the other waits—
wind between their words.

Raven Leaving Palm Tree — Image by kenne
“Departure”
A raven rests on fronded throne,
Where desert winds through palm have blown.
Its feathers ink against the sky,
A secret kept where shadows lie.
No caw, no cry, just silent grace,
It lifts into the sunlit space.
From tropic green to open blue,
It leaves the tree—and me—askew.
A parting like a whispered charm,
Dark wings retreating into calm.
And in its flight, the silence grew,
As if the palm now mourned it too.

Little Sparrow
[Chorus]
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain
[Verse 1]
All ye maidens, heed my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they’ll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two
[Chorus]
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain
[Verse 2]
If I were a little sparrow
Over these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain
I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme
— Dolly Parton

A feathered ember in a desert landscape, the male Vermilion Flycatcher is exactly what its name says:
a brilliant red bird that hawks flying insects from conspicuous perches on shrub tops and fences.
Though they barely reach the southwestern U.S., this species is common all the way through
Central America and much of South America. Source: CornellLab: All About Birds

I Wandered Lonely As A Bird 3 comments
Cooper’s Hawk In Patio Olive Tree — Image by kenne
I wandered lonely as a bird,
from the dust of dreams I arose.
The sigh of desolate heart I heard
emanate from the depth of woes.
The music of love within me didn’t die,
floating in its cadence I soared in the sky.
— from I Wandered Lonely As A Bird by Subimal Sinha-Roy.
