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 Date: 4/5/2009 9:53:00 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 Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 3/12/2009 2:15:00 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 Login to Reply
