Chirping like songbirds

There are so many songbirds,
he stops to listen,
and look

for the warblers,
the goldfinch, and the
bobolinks.

So I look, too,
not for the birds,
but the flowers, whose

names I cannot list,
but for the dandelion,
wild strawberry, and
apple blossoms.

We pass one another in
silence, one overtaking
the other as our focus shifts.

In hushed tones,
we question one another
and point ...

Did you hear that?
Look at this.
 

And when it's done, we
chirp like song sparrows,
amazed at all there is
to see and hear.
