Pollen In the Air

Whats that you said? Words drift Glimpse a bird down the hill closer to the river orange breasted, must be an Oriole Gone now Other birds, some quite strange fill the tree Fresh water Mist rises from the river and trumpets, once wild daisies Proclaim rebirth This bird, right near me I have never seen I smile

I so had a different take on this title. But your take was far more poetic, and made for a beautiful read.
