Changing the Guard

shhh listen, do you hear
the bird sound very near
that one's a lark
the other a wren
'Tis the signal
the shift's at an end
My favorite's the fox's bark
~
What shift you ask?
Come I'll show you
Step lightly, leave no trail
it's right over there
where the shadows pale
~
hunker down
look through the leaves
See him now?
Regal and calm
Stepping into where
the other was
and that one stepping away
fading into the trees
~
You're a lucky one
you've seen
the changing of the guards
in Evergreen
