The Prairiewoods courtyard
is a spiritual intersection
red stream flash
Left to right
Observed if not absorbed
yellow stream flash
Right to left
Do my eyes deceive?
Should green be near?
Perhaps Earth to sky?
This traffic light of
mini super beings
are simply song birds
of the spiritual courtyard
enjoying life
shared and together. With me.
Thank you.
