I laid in bed all day today
The weather gloomy and dark
But as the sun came through
I arose and looked out the window
I saw a warbler, unidentified, transient
It's feathers black and velvety
A flash of shimmering gold shone from beneath its wings
Such a wonderful sight to see
I watched at my feeder for it for a time
But it was elusive
It almost made me appreciate life for a moment
It was almost inspiration to stay out of bed
Until it slipped away into the foliage once again
I may never see it again
And I realized how alone I was in the spectacle of its presence
