recipients of nature's greatest grants.
Imagine just how dull Earth might have been
had birds not struck a bargain with the plants.
Consider if you will a simple seed
whose embryo and sustenance combine
to give the feathered traveler his speed
and pay the fare for those they drop behind.
Consider if you will the quest of man,
digging up his world in search of power,
his universal, superficial plans
are clearing skies of birds, and Earth of flowers.
Consider now the miracle of Spring--
suspended from a petal and a wing.
