When A Beautiful Singing Bird Comes Near You Poem by RIC BASTASA

when this beautiful singing bird comes close
to your heart
prepare to open right away what you just closed

prepare the place where it must hover
give it the best twig
let it lay its eggs and let it hatch
give it more time
to stay on its nest

when it begins to sing, listen
savor the pleasure found it its songs

it is something so beautiful in your heart
savor it
you know that this bird seldom comes and when it leaves
it leaves without your notice
