O WHY O WHY

His Cardinal Flies

On this grey wintery sky morn
he watched his lady cardinal.
Whose spread her wings and flew forlorn
to places he could not travel

He would stay here and wait til spring
keeping vigil on all her nest.
Yearns for her, lady everything
until she can complete her quest.

On this grey wintery sky morn
keeping vigil for flights abreast.
Was the lab who's truly forlorn
til his everythings safe at rest.

He watches for his cardinal
the glee in his heart she does bring.
Yet from the place of her travel
his yearning be quenched in the spring.

I hope his mate wasn't taken by an owl. I've often wondered why some birds like chickadees, crows, sparrows and cardinals stick around all winter when they could fly south like the other birds. It's amazing how their small bodies can withstand the cold.

There is something very catchy about this poem, especially the way you have chosen to fix words together, like: "Yearns for her, lady everything" I really like that line. ~~ Diana

It won't be long until his longing is appeased although he may still be picking ice out of the nest when she returns around here.

Love ya!

Interesting perspective and eloquently written, Budd. It bespeaks of a vigil, awaiting the return his lady cardinal's return. This is such a serene and calming piece of writing and it has calmed my presence.
