: Red Bird by estory

I watch a red bird
Flying off with your spirit
From these stones

A marvelous bird
Dancing over these fields
White with snow

Where the past years sleep
And tomorrow comes alive
In the spring

A woman in flight,
A spirit of the morning,
Lost in light.

Author Notes
This a poem I wanted to post for Mother's Day, a poem that I wrote for my mother, whose favorite bird was the cardinal. She passed away a year and a half ago, but it seems to me her spirit is with the Lord now, dancing, free from Alzheimer's and all the problems of old age. Back with her mom and her brothers and sister. The origami haiku is a form I came up with a short 3 syllable last line just to throw off the balance, and I often write them in little sequences. estory
