Someone's Praying Lord

today was spent burning brush from yesterday's work
there is something soothing about sitting by fire
all afternoon my feathered ones flitted from tree to tree
diving low over my head...across the fire
and they sang
not the warning song of hawks visit
but
chittering
chattering
happy sounds
i know what they were singing...
 
kumbaya my lord...kumbaya
kumbaya my lord...kumbaya
 
 at the end of the day
with a good cup of coffee
i sang too

Unbidden....

...and coffee
 
morning meditation completed...
 waiting now on the sunrise...
with aching muscles...
not the bad kind...
ones earned from honest laboring
digging ...
shovelful...
after shovelful...
after shovelful...
the making of a fire pit
i long to sit...
blanketed in stars... 
 flames hypnotically dancing...
fire...
stars...
 shadows...
 a good kind of
darkness...
not the kind that is...
unbidden...
