Calls of the Birds

shingled breast of scaled quail

vibrates

calling

chip-churr, chip-churr

------------------

red shouldered hawk

calls out 'kee-ah' in his

acipiter flight

 ---------------------

white tailed hawk sings

'kee-la'

'ke'

'kee-la'

as he hovers

on the warm wind currents

Shadow lace

lies on the wall

with it's coolness.

Quail Run

Neck in neck

the quail run

through the land

of little rain

Shadows upon me

     Tilted wings of bird

 shadows dancing upon me

Clouds bloom

New gamboge clouds

bloom in a twilight sky

Fluff up your feathers

 fluffy feathers arise with faith

Wine barrels

 The aged wood waits

with grace and beauty

---old wine barrels at Dry Comal Creek Winery---
