Listening to every heart

Almost….there

Two-week old cloud coverings
broke in half, today, scattering east
and west, just
before the full moon set,
taking with it
the magic of that Hallmark card sparkle
of the night…

soon, dull rainbow hues could not foretell
the red of a sun ball’s rise…
but I was there…and eyed its glory…

later…

when temperatures had climbed
to all of 14…

Fahrenheit…

there, in the slight drip of icicles
before the freeze began again
I overheard the sound
of one cardinal,
singing Welcome
to a spring
which is waiting
in the wings.

Yep, there were a few brave birds out here this morning too and strange the "dull rainbow hues" you mention, because this afternoon, I saw pieces of a rainbow in the sky and thought I was imagining it...guess not!!  Really enjoyed this one Kari.

I sure hope it's soon Karilea....
it has been a very long cold winter.
Love this...therefore..I'm keeping it!

(smiles) Yay! I can't wait to see the first sighting of the robin as that always is a happy joyous day because of the robin being a harbinger of the blooming season, yay! (big angel hugs) yay for spring and may it come as soon as possible, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Karilea, I took some pictures of some pictures
of some birds the other day. I love birds.
