ACTS OF NATURE

A blackbird rises from the side of the road 
I take its flight as a signal
What it could be, I do not know
Maybe a call to slow down

It is morning and I’m driving east
The sun is bright and hard on my eyes
Music is playing, I feel relaxed
Two deer dart out of the woods

They scamper across the road
I narrowly miss hitting them
Thankful is putting it mildly 
I remember the blackbird

Nature can be very enchanting
If only we give it a chance
Take time to smell the roses
This old saying comes to mind

Everything and everyone are connected
We don’t always understand
But the blackbird connected today
An event that I would call grand
