In Quiet Innocence
Lesser Finch & Toyon
By Peter Asco
In quiet innocence sits the bird
to simply await ‘till brake of day
without expectations on a branch it rests
in relaxation but still alert
barely moving as darkness falls
rocking along the gentle breeze
like just another leaf on the tree
I sense no thoughts, no future plots,
I feel the peace within its soul.
