Today’s Poem: Why I Need the Birds, by Lisel Mueller
Why I Need the Birds
~ Lisel Mueller
When I hear them call
in the morning, before
I am quite awake,
my bed is already traveling
the daily rainbow,
the arc toward evening;
and the birds, following
their own discrete lives
of hunger and watchfulness
are with me all the way . . .
