But I Saw Three Birds

And the thunder rumbled.



The trees quivered in response,

Rustling their leaves in disquietude.

Suddenly a strong wind arose,

Bringing the warning of turbulence.



The roses dropped some petals in fear,

Twisting and turning, yet holding their ground-

And still the birds sang.



A tremendous gust bent the trees

And showered pink confetti high in the air



But I saw three birds

Winging high in the evening sky

Over the valley



And I soared too.
