Analysis of Small Birds



there were Rainbows floating 'round

but people did not see them, not a Sound

the small, small, very still, quie voice of

of the  marching, chanting,

reviewing with doubting

- line upone line, word after a word

- the birds of the Spirit sometimes

spoke, if ever one p a u s e d.
