Heart Calls

Currents of air float my heart home on wings

with a plaintive call

and a feathered lift.

Wherever this head rests, it is beckoned back

by the ancient chorus

of these instinctual voices.

Thoughts start to wander at their sound---

drawn away from

seashore,

mountain trails,

from streets of new city adventures

Back to that sandy beach ridge

of Old Johnnycake,

to the Lake Erie shoreline of Ohio,

to what grounds my life,

as much as genetic patterns

ground these birds to the Whole of their universe.

These beautiful winged creatures---

cradling my thoughts in their song

carrying my heart back to Home.
