Hopeful Days

Cold dissipates as the Winter bird tweets. Perpetual treat, that enters my ear, singsong merriness, retreats all too quick, completes its assignment, to the next neighbor, gets along. Stillness of second Winter, naked oaks. A seasonal painting as my window frames. Upcoming Spring, the loss in April, brushstrokes that paint a vivid scene, purple in flames. Summer and Fall wedged in between, poking the embers, sending smoke up the chimney hole. On this side of heaven long days, never revoking the pact to keep sealed in her urn, memories toll. Still heaven is hope, hopeful days of endless sun, seasons without pallor and pain, holding so soft hands, hugging eternity, leaning on Tree of Life; one family in the Lord; my mother’s eyes…I look aloft.

Beautiful Kim. We have that hope as in Revelation chapter 21 and John 14: 1-3.
