The dying songbird

A shrill call in the whispered dark
A shrouding call from the fattened lark
A cockerel's coo and a chicken's chirp
All and none of that

A golden fur of a cat

My bird was caged
It sang the songs of a Parrot's Sage
It fed on nuts well fed
Eager to please for a Princely wage

Eager to shield and yet to protect
The Songbird from the feline
The Songbird with intent
The feline with context.

If Grace exists, it would be outside the Natural Workings of the Universe..... It would have to be Supernatural. In other words it would have to be a Miracle. Grace is a Miracle -             - Just as Love is a Miracle . It 's supernatural and an evidence of the Spiritual. Would you choose Fear or Love ? Would you choose Action/Reaction or Grace. The choice is yours with a Hundred..... Different Opportunities to choose everyday. We will never do it perfectly..... But we can be on the rig...
