Two Visitors From Heaven

a yellow bird in the silence of winter this is curious, so I sneak to my window moving slowly, so I do not scare it. a red streak flies across and lands two cardinals! they are messengers I have heard of this, but had not experienced it on a pure white day, where schools are closed here they sit – two of my favorite relatives. my aunt pearl, who always wore red and my uncle Pete who had a yellow fetish He wanted yellow all over the house Claimed he needed it more than ever in winter Hello! I said to the window. Thank you for visiting! They stayed for a while. Long enough for me to get a photo. I showed it to my mother, but she did not understand. Being religious, not spiritual.
