Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch this beautiful woodpecker fairly close-up. I had a blast!

Monday's Journey

I'd not give room for an Emperor-
I'd hold my road for a king.
To the Triple Crown I'd not bow down-
But this is a different thing.
I'll not fight with the Powers of Air-
Sentries pass him through!
Drawbridge let fall-He's the Lord of us all-
The Dreamer whose dream came true.

Monday's Journey

The Night Will Never Stay

The night will never stay,
The night will still go by,
Though with a million stars
You pin it to the sky,
Though you bind it with the blowing wind
And buckle it with the moon.
The night will slip away
Like sorrow or a tune.
