Description
THE ROBIN
By: Kahlil Gibran
O Robin, sing ! for the secret of eternity is in song.
I wish I were as you, free from prisons and chains.
I wish I were as you; a soul flying over the valleys,
Sipping the light as wine is sipped from ethereal cups.
I wish I were as you, innocent, contented and happy
Ignoring the future and forgetting the past.
I wish I were as you in beauty, grace and elegance
With the wind spreading my wings for adornment by the dew.
I wish I were as you, a thought floating above the land
Pouring out my songs between the forest and the sky.
O Robin, sing ! and disperse my anxiety.
I listen to the voice within your voice that whispers in my inner ear.

Just Outside
*****
In the morning, you will hear the robin�s song, and sure enough, there is one just outside the window, tearing berries from a bush or worms from the ground, hopping along, flinging dry leaves every which way, not shy and definitely not delicate, but elegant for all that��..a handsome bird.
*****
The American Robin is a busy, common and sturdy bird, and I wanted to paint it with deep, rich colors, strong values, and in an active pose, to highlight the qualities that make this bird so popular.
*****
We certainly are seeing plenty of robins here in Colorado, now. Are they out hunting and foraging in your part of the world?

Visit this site for some really cool activities related to the robin, and most especially to hear the different calls this bird makes.
