Here I am
Spirit of the Barn Swallow
Flying in the snowy wind
Illumined blue and purple wing
Catching silver light, the other side of shadow

Here I am
Propelled to not come in,
Unguarded of the sin of truth
Optimisms fit like youth upon the young
No better song that I have ever sung
Matching draft and up hill tag in hand made halo

Here I am
Upon your branch
Shivered off the flake of softest sake and plump
Nestled down the curve of open handed stump
So snug in what I know will come the visions hum
And hum within your soul as was intended it to be

The softer song where I belong within your heart set free

Beautiful Kathy...absolutely wonderful!!
Happy New Year!!

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

This sings itself, T.D.   I love the way you work the sounds, rhythms, and images!  A pleasure to read.

Beautiful, yes, I agree, some absolutely striking lines! Gorgeous!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Your poem draws the heart in, and brings nature to life in such a gentle way.

Wonderful imagery, Kathleen~
