Things Will Be Better

I stood in the snow frozen park
Leaned against a tree, not feeling too well
Beneath skies filled with gray clouds
I looked between the birch trees
And I saw the birds flying
I heard them singing in the stillness
Then I closed my eyes and imagined,
Their happy chirping songs were for me
And in this moment, everything was ok
As I returned, I saw what autumn left behind
Pinecones, leaves and acorns frozen in ice
I saw a boat parked in a yard nearby
As my mind thought about summer again
Then, everything will be better too

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/14/2020 1:01:00 PM The winter birds are reminders that other flocks will fill the skies come spring. (Two herons were parading down my street yesterday:) Winter is hard for a lot of people, so spring is celebrated enthusiastically. Hope your area warms up, Heidi. Enjoyed your descriptive verse! Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 1/14/2020 4:10:00 PM That is nice to see the herons like you did Carolyn. We are actually in a mild temperature spell right now, but still with ice and snow. Although a lot of 'gray'. I appreciate your visit and kind comment! hugs :)
