A song of love., Facebook Timeline photos- Rocky Mountain Angel., On Flickr., Pinterest photo-Erythrocephalus., poetry by Yu/stan/kema, The Cardinal sings from the heart.
A Cardinal flew between two pine trees.
So fast it darted, that the very air
Seemed to burn with passion,
And combust into flames.
It’s body appeared to quiver
With unrequited love,
And with a drawing in
Of its trembling breath,
A piercing whistle
Rang over and over in
The stillness of the forest.
A brown Cardinal nearby,
Raised her head until
Her wandering eyes
Found him.
She lifted her wings
And shook them.
She preened her feathers
With her lovely beak.
With bashful eyes,
She gave him a signal:
“Show me your glory.”
From deep within his heart,
Arose a passionate cry:
“I’m here, I’m here.
Cheer,cheer,cheer.”
