Blocking the Sunlight

Taking pictures of my day:
nothing could be easier.
You are just in your way,
the sparrows say,
your songs couldn’t be drowsier,
ditties of your day.
What we need’s a fair
breeze to make our departure hastier.
If you make us bow and pray
all day, we won’t be on our way
in time (though we’ve never had tastier
worms in all our days).
Tracing sparrow-silhouettes in rays
of light: what could be priestlier?
You're just in your own way,
but the sun shines right
through you. A mere morsel of
need, but you take pictures of your day.
They're OK in their way.
