The robin redbreast had a message
The robin had something to say.
A song of renewal
amongst the trees.
A chirp to cheer
el primer sollozo of the newborn.
And like in mama’s womb
a sliver of light se filtra por el Este.
Y el petirrojo says:
Come out! Emerge!
The robin redbreast had a message
The robin had something to say.
As the cold West wind
invites the pine to bow
and rustles its needles.
in gentle ovation.
The tree from the West
bows down to the middle
and greets the new age.
The robin redbreast had a message
The robin had something to say.
The new life grumbles and howls,
wiggles and writhes
to heed her roar
and salute her core
as if they were inhabiting that space for the first time.
Guttural noises and stomping feet,
revealing her new song,
seizing her load on the ground.
And the wren said, “Hello, welcome
to your new adulthood!”

I am not sure if you are familiar with Jeanette Winterson? She is a genius in my view because I never come away from seeing a video about her without having learned something, or at least having made me see things from a different perspective. I do believe you are of the same ilk Maria. You are thoughtful and compassionate, and “political” in all the right ways. I look up to you both, I really do.
Ah, Jenny! Many thanks for such beautiful words! My heart swells with gratitude and joy. I am so happy that you find value in what I share! This makes my work worth it 🙂
