~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

In the stillness of a cool, spring morning, A cardinal’s heart is heavy – he’s heartbroken. Softly calling for the lover he is mourning. Thumps noisily against the clear glass pane, Reflecting the scarlet bird, lost in his grief, Striking the window, again and again – is he insane?

Feelings of lost are not for humans only. It's always sad to see the anguish being displayed after a loss. It can easily appear to be insanity; and may be in some extreme cases. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt poetry with us, my friend. Hugs, Bill

this poem of yours touched my heart and filled it with twinges of sadness. Poor cardinal. I guess grief can look like insanity...never thought of it that way. Nicely done...hugs, Sara
