Blue Crowned Euphonia_patricia_beauchamp_camuy

Blue-Crowned Forest Jewel 

Euphonia’s quick spark in the forest shade,

you dance from branch to branch—

all energy, all tangerine light.

Your tinkling calls scatter like raindrops,

a tiny song that wakes the trees.

Pausing to feed on mistletoe berries,

you stitch color into the quiet woods—

a golden whisper passing through.
