Daver Austin Poet Free verse

Transition

This morning I saw a late winter cardinal
Harbinger of spring
Redder than red
But the color of energy
Thrilling
Trilling life
Throbbing the veil of eternity
Specter formed in rare    sifted air
All the micro-micro macro
To any Nth degree
Dots.....dots....dots............................
Mini of mini..............................................
Beyond what eye can see
Transition to
One single speck
In isolation
And another
Then
Endless others
And within each
An eternity

Trudy Diane Rider April 5, 2009 at 9:53 AM A red cardianl against a snowy backdrop is certainly an attention getter! You do have a way with words Daver. Could almost smell spring creeping in. And don't worry, there is no way we're moving to MO...his health is too bad now, and all his doctors are here...it's hard to switch all that this point. Thanks for your wonderful comments also, Daver. ~Trudy

Amy Swanson March 19, 2009 at 4:33 AM Good morning Daver :) this is such a wonderful poem, I just love it, has almost a mystical zen-like quality at the end! Very deep and also really inspiring! :) Love, Amy

Sharon Winter March 13, 2009 at 5:43 AM Yes, I agree with Stacey. You can be pretty heavy duty awesome yourself Mr. Daver. I have Cardinals here all through the winter in NJ. Am I just lucky? Back to your poem - it really sweeps you in, deeply. Love it. Love, Shar

Kristin Reynolds March 13, 2009 at 2:14 AM Ah yes, the ever expanding pinnicle of the point, magnified to reveal all suns, universes and existance...like a flea on a flea on a flea for all eternity...brilliant peome descibing the infinite. love Kristin

Catherine Adams March 12, 2009 at 4:45 PM Wow! Such a powerfull poem! I love the part "Transition to One single speck In isolation And another Then Endless others And within each An eternity."

Carolyn Devonshire March 12, 2009 at 2:15 PM I love the "thrilling, trilling life" of your cardinal, Daver. I also like the way you see the universe as "speks in isolation" to join with others to linger for eternity! (And I will be praying for the jobless and homeless in your area. My heart truly goes out to them.) Love, Carolyn
