Denial

Being in denial is like sitting in an empty house,
with a moonlit forest behind it.

Coming out of denial is the new bird,
that comes and stays a while, with that little 
empty house, but when winter comes, 
he is off on a journey from the heavens above.

Interesting perspective leaving the reader with something to ponder. You may want to change journy to journey in the last line. Best wishes with your writing. Karen

The bird adds life to the empty house; too bad he has to leave. Lovely poem, Emily.
