Mythic bird poetry calls our soul out of its hiding place. Some of the bird poems in this book have factual origins, while others are fictional and somewhat humorous. But myths are more than mere stories and they serve a more profound purposein ancient and modern cultures. Myths explain the worldand our experience in the world.We can feel the power of myth, a feeling of discovery, making us want to take wings and soar in blue skies.

Mythic bird poems are songs of the universe singing our soul awake.When we feed the birds, we dance to the music of the spheres.

We wake to the musicof angels singing.
