Poems

Like the storm thrush

(with thanks to a Welsh poet and teacher)

By Nancy Humphrey Case

From the March 2012 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Be like the storm thrush, he said
perched in a treetop waving wildly in the wind
singing for joy

the spotted bird voices truth:
no roar, assault, nor circumstance can take away
your Soul-created buoyancy

Storm Thrush

—

open your wings reach up
and let the tempest lift you—
blow you to a treetop
where you hold on and
sing the glory of the view

— Nancy Humphrey Case
