A Hungry Bird



Need for something is like 

a hungry bird on your shoulder. 

It does not want for anything 


~ only a few grains to eat, 

while I sit here wanting 

the furniture to be different. 


Need for something is also

sunshine on my face, 

wind in my hair, 

sharing beauty, voice and kindness

 

I will not die or turn green without 

those simple things, but my insides 

will shrivel until I become that hungry bird.


“Here’s to the moment when you realize

 the simple things are wonderful and enough.”

~ Jill Badonsky, The Awe-manac: A Daily Dose of Wonder
