BLOOD RED BIRD, WHITE SNOW



The Red. Bird. Now at the feeder.

Seeds, wet in black piles beneath. 

Need to breathe. Stay. NOW!! 

How majestic this plump little bird is. 

So red. 

So so cold today. 

Minus nine. 

Hard wind. 

Oh cardinal you and your lime green mate 

strutting here, showing me how to WAIT!! 

How to MEDITATE. 

Quiet. 

Still. 

No. 

Movement. 

Peace. 

BREATH! (oh how easily I forget the breath.)

Full heart. 

Red blood against the white snow. 

What a gift. 

How a 

Cardinal lifts my heart heavenward!
