worms in our lives

in a garden lived the bluebird
pecking at lifes burdens
she often thought of birds,
of flying to other heavens
where will she find the cherry
or fields laden with fruit
how many friends will she make
when far away she scoots?
many a times in her dreams
an enchanting sky emerged
when she was pecked by worms
in the soil of her earth
with a smile she asked them
why you dont rise from soil
to travel with me afar
when greens beckon, waters sing
why in sand you loiter?
in life we need the worms
to make our soils green
who look up to us with wonder
when we fly with our dreams.
