Poetry Month 2023 Post #14: “Beginning Again”

April is #NationalPoetryMonth and I am posting a Poem-A-Day. I am enjoying all the birds who are singing and nesting right now. I wrote this poem in April 2008.

Beginning Again

Today I hear the birds–call and
response, chanting the day into
light. First light is so gentle–
dusting all that is with the
beginnings of muted color.
Things start to move, others
begin to find a place to rest.
It is a time of beginning again.
