Notes About The Poem

Bird Angel

 
she was gone
        no longer filling an earthly place
   but, the world went on
          people walked and talked
  cars drove on the road
              the wind fluttered the leaves
    but I  
        felt like an empty shell
               walking aimlessly
                          with no destination 
  finally, I stopped to rest
      on a park bench
            and was quickly joined
    by a pretty colorful chirping songbird
oh, how he chattered and twittered
         a precious song
                and I could not help but smile
          and let my tears fall
    I think he was a little bird angel
               sent by Mom

Andrea Dietrich January 21, 2023 at 9:57 AM lovely poem and so creative, Dear heart. I almost thought it was for the winter poem where a creature needs to be speaking about winter or something. I felt the hint of winter's end or beginning in this one. Constance La France January 21, 2023 at 4:08 PM Andrea, thank you so much for the comment, compliment, appreciate, Constance

Jack Horne January 21, 2023 at 7:20 AM awww, this is lovely, my friend - I had a similar experience with a robin at my gran's grave. Haven't heard from you for ages, but I hope you & that cute kitty are doing well. Mum was in hospital - dementia much worse & mobility terrible now, then she caught Covid in hospital... (And I caught it visiting her). We have carers coming in 4 times a day now to help me with changing her pads, washing her etc, as she can't stand now for me to do those things. She's gradually getting used to that! Constance La France January 21, 2023 at 4:10 PM Jack, thank you so much for the visit, comment and compliment, sorry about your Mom and your health issues too, God bless, Constance
