For Chronicles of Narnia lovers, and a companion to Jessica's poem Puddles:
Two tiny birds, wildflower yellow
perch on the edge of a shining puddle,
Bodies reflected upside-down unbroken.
They have more courage than I:
Courage to chance finding wonder, joy, and new worlds;
Courage to chance bringing the disease of our destruction
On an untainted world.
They have more courage than I:
Courage to chance ruin
On their dreams of the mind;
To chance the world shrinking
By one gleaming possibility.
