The Cardinal 6.22.19

Spring was making it’s comeback

When a few weeks ago he appeared,

Just as dusk surrounded the eve,

Suddenly I got the oddest feeling

Like someone, literally was staring at me.

I seemed drawn to peer out my window

There I saw gently perched upon a branch, 

A cardinal dressed in bright red.

He wasn’t checking out his surroundings

But looking at me instead. 

I didn’t feel startled but calmness and peace.

Was he bringing me some sort of message?

And though I had heard tales of such, 

Of the appearance of loved ones lost, 

Until then, I hadn’t believed all that much.

Every fair weather evening since, 

I am drawn to look out that same way.

Often he is there and then he is gone,

Though I have never seen him depart.

But there just seems to be a familiarity about him

He, like my dad, leaves the echo of a sweet little tune

That continues to play in my heart.

To Journal 4.24.19 Excerpt from “After the Rooster Crows”, “My Personal Journal” Author/Publisher Intro (1 min read)

pink flowers for book change to 300 dpi

Whether you journal

In the morning,

Or you journal

In the eve,

You journal to get

Your thoughts out

Or you journal,

So that your words

Flow.

This journal is for you.

 

 

 

Whether you

Journal a short story, haiku,

Or to make

The lines rhyme.

You journal as a release,

After a long day,

Or to capture a quote.

Perhaps you journal

To savor an old memory.

It does not matter why.

 

 

 

Always remember,

Writing in your journal,

Is personal,

And never, ever

A waste of your time

Kind Regards  and hugs – K
