Perhaps It's Magic

A blue jay sails on bright blue wings

Close, across my field of vision-

A fleeting flash of blue lightning,

Flying with easy precision.



The wildlife ignores my presence-

Perhaps they think I'm a tree.

They seem to sense I mean no harm

And so I'm accepted; as me?



Now a grackle perches boldly

On a dwarf tree behind the cat,

And loudly proclaims its presence.

It's a good thing that cat is fat!



Perhaps this garden is magic,

Enchanted for all those within;

Peace and prosperity reign here

And we all become kissing kin.
