Poem: Life’s Companions

I heard a Wattle bird today
‘It’s time to go’ she seemed to say
Another joined her gentle song
I think it was a Currawong
Parrots, Magpies, on the wire
Joined the song – we had a choir
Feathered friends within the trees
Set their songs upon the breeze.
The Wattle bird – alone no more
‘It’s time to stay’ she sang, for sure.
