Awelfa has a new friend
\nMag the pie he be
\nComes to sit on my alpine slate
\nAnd just chatters constantly
\nWith his iridescent flashes
\nOf what is green and blue
\nA black and white tuxedo
\nAnd his long tail in full view<\/p>\n
Harbingers of good news
\nStar crossed lovers knew
\nOn the bridge across the Milky Way
\nExactly what to do
\nPeering through these windows
\nIt\u2019s humbling to observe him
\nWith his unassuming view<\/p>\n
Magpies are lactose intolerant
\nWeakening their bones
\nNever offer meat or mince
\nOut there on the stones
\nSunflower seed hearts possibly
\nThe odd earthworm or two
\nSpend some time to communicate
\nThat\u2019s the thing to do<\/p>\n
They remember faces
\nPerhaps from years ago
\nSomeone fed them in that place
\nThey just seem to know
\nOr maybe tall trees they have lived on
\nOr roof ledges magpie\u2019s do
\nRetain this useful knowledge
\nFor them it\u2019s good and true<\/p>\n
For me a wave of wonderment
\nYou see it in their eyes
\nLegends in the making
\nA relevance a wise
\nInventiveness apparent
\nFanciful and free
\nPhantoms in the making
\nA sort of rhapsody<\/p>\n
Far sighted and prophetic
\nA kind of second sight
\nOne of the famous Corvidae
\nFor seeing divine light
\nThey possess a recall
\nA voice from the past
\nHaunting and persistent
\nIt\u2019s in their die once cast<\/p>\n
Nobody\u2019s fool I will tell you
\nA thinker one might say
\nQuick witted and streetwise
\nComing here today
\nBelieving from before
\nSomeone else was kind to him
\nSat there by my door
\nMag the pie a brand new friend
\nActually I am sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
