Same Earth Same Sky

 An indigo bird ruffles her plumes
Sunshine and rain grace the glistening body
Embraced by the generosity of nature
A cornucopia of seeds and berries
Singing a cascade of melodies
As she lifts from branch to sky.

A bird drab brown, eyes darting
Feathers parched by fractured soil
No green leaves grace this tree
Where predators stalk the ground
Same earth same sky same tree.
