As I sat outside yesterday

enjoying an early afternoon break

I soaked up the noise of the city

A bird in the tree across the street was chirping and singing away

replacing the noise of human chatter that I hear all day

3 crows were pulling away at the burlap wrapped around a shrub

I watched with a sense of awe

as a Robin hopped along the sidewalk

there was an absence of the brutal winter wind

High above me a flock of Geese were honking

with a heart filled with hope of warmer weather

I tilted my head to watch them fly by

They flew in a straight line

then rearranged into a small “v”

a sure sign of imminent Spring

Even the drone from the radio station

was being replaced with the sounds of birds

chirping birds and honking Geese all sound like Spring

I sat and watched as flock after flock

of Geese flew overhead

until I took a snow flake in the eye

OH WHATEVER!!!
