The Visit

The Visit

The blue - green hues play gently
against the absence of fair springtime skies,
While the cardinal arrives and sings its melodic songs as he softly sits
on the brawny limb of the pink blossoming crab apple tree.
Your welcome presence, however fleeting, breathes only
a harmonious tranquility completing my souls longing.
A celebration of reflective thoughts fills every space
as our acquainting spirits intertwine.
The brilliance of your luminous light conquers my very being
as my heart feels the ubiquity of your ephemeral visit.
I have seen you in my dreams and listened intently as the sweet serenity
of your voice appears with calming words.
And, then, with a wink and a smile,
your wings peacefully carry you away to the white cotton sky
and leaves me in blessed contentment.

Until we meet again.

Connie, a beautiful poem. I love your choice of words that don't get used much anymore. It only made the poem more unique! A melodic short story star of the day!

The visit story is so relatable with unfiltered honesty blurts. I wish I could also write about my encounter with all the wonderful visits of nature singing birds.
Thank you for sharing!
