A Messenger From the Sky

 

 

Today, as I sat filtering through

the thoughts running through my mind

I heard an entrance at my front door

and turned around to find

an unexpected visitor .....

A beautiful redbird flying

passed me toward  my hallway.

I could see the red bird's fear

and the sight  moved

my heart to tears.

 

The beautiful bird perched on the windowsill

looking from inside out.......

I felt the longing, inside the tiny life form,

to once again fly free......

I stood above the redbird, talking to him

gently........

As my hands reached down, carefully,

to raise the glass and set the beautiful

bird free.

The red bird brought

me beauty and peace-

before the  tears

and heartache. jt
