The Birds at the Window

I just woke up from a nap and in my dream I was sitting at my kitchen table with a cup of coffee. It was early morning, and the house was quiet. Outside the window, the sky was a soft gray, like it had just finished raining.

I looked up and saw a group of little birds gathered on the windowsill. Not just one or two, there must’ve been a dozen of them. They weren’t scared of me, they just sat there doing what birds do best. A few tapped gently at the glass with their beaks.

One of them had a bit of red on its chest. I remember thinking how familiar it looked, but still haven't figured out why...

I didn’t try to open the window or scare them off or anything. I just sat there with my coffee, watching them as they were watching me. It felt peaceful. Like they came to check in.
