Birdcall

PRACTICE THIS NEW BIRDCALL

The way we live opens windows
And calls in a secret voice to anything
Still missing.

There is nothing in your mind
You have not invited in.

There is no event in your life
You in some way
Did not drive a hard bargain for.

We were all once like moons,
Often full and bright.

The heart, in its wisdom,
Ceaselessly shops for
Him.

The wise in any foreign country
seek a true guide.

The guide says,

"Just practice this new birdcall,
It will attract to you
something even
Greater than

Love."
