Nourishment a happiness creator

Oil on canvas, 40 X 20 in / 101.6 X 50.8 cm
Every morning when he wakes
Joseph thinks of them
Soft feathers caressing is hands
Small cool feet gripping his fingers
Wings fluttering near his face
Influx of warm air as greetings
The connection has long been established
At the square they meet again
Every day without fail
He arrives for the ritual
Opening his soft pouch
Filled with golden love and promises
While he stands at the center
They appear from hidden nooks all around
Hopeful eyes meet
Happy to communicate and share
As they feed and the chirping swells
This precious moment stretches
Delight fills his heart
Everything else forgotten
This sustenance
His soul gratefully receives
When the pouch is empty
Filled with wonder he is
Nourishment is of two kinds
One for the body
One for the soul
Animal and man nourish each other
This daily moment of contentment
Will carry them until tomorrow
When complicity and joy once again
Connect Joseph and his feathery friends
