Hallelujah

There is a bird singing

while its tree is dying.

Death is only an urge

The birdsong is a dirge.

Life is something we share

for those of us who care;

but if death comes around

it means we’re heaven bound.

What the bird sings about

is a triumphant shout.

“I’ll find another tree

to share this life with me.”

An attitude of love.

So sings the Mourning Dove.
