The Universe Within
I am calling it free verse because I did not try to follow a poetic form to write it.
Yellow glow illuminates the horizon
Silhouetting all the skeletal trees
Revealing in the valley below
White frost coating all the leaves
A pale glow brings this day to life
Then brushstrokes of red appear
The Master Artist through His omniscience knew
This beauty my spirit would cheer
The colors reminded me of yesterday
When a yellow bird high up in the tree stood
Mixed within a flock of sparrows
He was there for my spirit's good
I can compare him to the rising sun
High in the poplar tree
Yet, he was so small in comparison
Not much more than a tiny bee
Yellow bird landed upon the ground
The whole flock joined as they fed
Maybe he was a pine warbler
Or perhaps a tiny goldfinch instead
When they saw my Ratcha*
They all took to the sky and fled
Yellow bird high in the poplar tree
Yellow bird sitting alone like me
Glad that you could fly away
Please come again another day
Come and visit to drive away
Lonely feelings each day
Yellow bird come to visit me
Soothing my universe within
Slow down the comet whizzing
Slow down the asteroid hitting
Thank you yellow bird
Thank you once again
