...Red Bird In Flight

simplicity

the flowing grains of expired years etched on this oak desk

remind me of red bird words on a sunny January day long ago,

telling of my need for simplicity.

as changes mount up month after month,

her melody still chimes my inner ear.

and though my dear cardinal no longer sings in her roost,

know that I’ve heard your glorious song...

and am blessed by its meaning

living with calm wind under wing

and harmony in my once fluttered heart.
