"A Song Sparrow Singing in the Fall" by Wendell Berry Somehow it has all added up to song -- earth, air, rain and light, the labor and the heat, the mortality of the young. I will go free of other singing, I will go into the silence of my songs, to hear this song clearly.
I love how the first lines create an image of the interconnectedness of things.... and how it "ends" in song.
And I love at the end, a commitment to pay attention to this bird song (the simple sparrow!)
