From deep within the temple
of this elusive bird's breast,
these liquid notes spill forth
under the canopy of woods.
Shaping a melody memory.
Sounding like a holy hymn.
The song of the Wood Thrush
fills a chalice of praise.
How do I approach
the altar of worship?
With humble gratitude
for His awesome creation.
