Cardinals

Christina8

Days pass, yet there

is nothing to do.

All I can do is sit

here and think of you.

 

The snow rages on

I wish for summer instead

But the cold blankness just

makes me feel sad and dead

 

A part of me dies 

every winter long

But I do love the cardinals

Belting out their songs

 

I feel detached of 

everything going on

So taken for granted

This is no fun.

    I love the allegorical feel of this poem. I can see the bleakness of winter while the loved one is absent, until he returns in spring, as does the Cardinal. Beautifully penned!

      How is it in the USA just now? I'm in the UK.

      • Christina8

        northern states are having snow storms and southern states have rain and a few tornadoes.

        • orchidee

          We've not seen a few tornadoes here lately, and probably not as much snow as you're having.

          Those cardinals will take you to a finer place in your mind Christina and life will get better.

            Better days are on the way Christina. My Mother loved Cardinals too. Now she sings with them in Heaven. 🐦

            • Christina8

              yes, many think that cardinals are a symbol or a sign from heaven. Thank you for your kind words!
