From deep within the temple
of this elusive bird's breast,
these liquid notes spill forth
under the canopy of woods.
Shaping a memory of music,
sounding like a holy hymn.
The song of the Wood Thrush
sung in the temple of praise,
sung in the temple of praise,
fills a chalice of thanksgiving,
and my gratitude for this grace.
and my gratitude for this grace.
