St. Francis Sowed His Bluebirds

St. Francis sowed his bluebirds

in the Sky

when the lemon wind was never

far away and all these fables

I have held to my heart

as flowers freshly gathered.

now the small doves coo

at Light's own window

and the lavender frescoed

moments all pass by

in every green-graced field

I once believed in-

but I am an hourglass in His hand

I am a bluebird in the Sky

St. Francis,

on the lemon wind-
