- 3. Red Bird by tatsuhwa There is a red bird echoing some new song. Harmonious chirping growing ever strong. Open eyed soul voyageur seeking to find. One full of wisdom and gentle peace of mind. Flight unrestricted, soaring above, Moving toward unconditional love. Peering through the darkness, cooing at the madness till dawn. If ever you should hear him or hear the faintest call. Turn to him and face a glory that can be known to all. Mirror images translate meaning deep within his eyes. Wings stretched, encircling dark yet somehow lightened skies. Lightened up in goodness~ Influence on us all Find a red bird before the fall. (2012, Crawford)
