Northern Cardinal In The Spring — Image by kenne
His call—a tune both sharp and sweet,
A heartbeat where the seasons meet.
Oh, Northern Cardinal, fierce and free,
A winged fire in the cedar tree.

The life that I could still live,
I should live, and the thoughts
that I could still think,
I should think.

Red Bird
Red bird came all winter
Firing up the landscape
As nothing else could.
Of course I love the sparrows,
Those dun-colored darlings,
So hungry and so many.
I am a God-fearing feeder of birds,
I know he has many children,
Not all of them bold in spirit.
Still, for whatever reason-
Perhaps because the winter is so long
And the sky so black-blue,
Or perhaps because the heart narrows
As often as it opens-
I am grateful
That red bird comes all winter
Firing up the landscape
As nothing else can do.

A page of trust and order
Devoted to life.
