The only one

Only yesterday
I sat in the backyard
extolling the sun
A bird sat meekly
on the edge of the fence
looking me squarely in the eye
It chirped – it squawked –
melodic of song
or out of tune (a warning)
Waiting to swoop
or sense a friend –
belief with want of fawning
Did she think
or merely exist
did she have a past and present
Did she feel
the here and now –
the now and here with essence
She came that day
the only way she knew
she left that day
the same way
and past the sun she flew
Ideas and wisdom
thoughts and feelings
gravitate toward me solely
Yet we stare and share
with others there
what’s virtuous and holy
Better times
(yet to be spent)
yet to be loved and fettered
And when they come
the only one –
my love lay bare – be bettered
