(2014)
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine
When I sit And watch The in and out Of breath, Thoughts no longer
Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
The lines in my hand, Were read once, By a gypsy, who Predicated a long life... But with many interruptions.
Grateful for: Sunrise of pink and gold Showing the way, Lighting the sky, To another blessed day.
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
On a walk, many Brown-Eye Susan line the border, before the woods. Rain clouds move closer as if to give a hug, while
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
Yellow finches Line the bird feeder Against Spring’ s canopy Of green and purple tapestry. Back and forth they go
Firefly shine your light, Brighten my life, Lead the way, through The meadows, in my mind. Firefly, float so high,
Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love
Sometimes wonder about a star, way afar. How life might be in outer space,
Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry
When I first heard “The Blackbird,” In the middle Of night, I was just thirteen.
