Who Knows a Bird?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please come out to play and tell me.

 

This is the first time in about six years

 

that I've used photos that are not my own.

 

Gifs from Tumblr. 

 

To what readers I have left

 

this will be about the second/third to last post

 

I'll write before I'm finished here on Blogger.

 

Life has changed but love increases.

 

May your lives be full.

Iconic October

recycles images of comfort

 

via

via

via

and
 
anticipation.

via

via

But silhouettes of fear

via

 

hover over our

imaginations.

So what if 

in spite of

the crow's image

he was really a

song bird

via

 

a gentle friend

via

 or 

simply had 

the intense and irresistible desire

 to reveal his true self?

via pinterest

from other peoples' perception of you

is like

slicing through

heaven

where every ray of the spectrum

falls 

on glimmering wing tips

hurling

every doubting shadow to 

earth

via

under cracking fallen leaves

  

while you

bat your wings 

and

show 'em 

who you really are.

There is

But

Somewhere out there

someone is building their

paradise

via

via

via

via

 

a young man and his dog

see eye to eye

via

a fish

brandishes its tail

that arrests you 

in a moment 

of 

weightlessness

 

via

a farmer waits to tickle

a field to yield 

tulips that will reap smiles 

via

a museum visitor 

stops and inhales the past

 while 

a forest creature

takes its first

via

via

and 

last breath.

But behind the cycle of good and sad

there's always someone 

who knows the secret to living.

In Tennessee

a woman illustrates 

and

writes about her farm animals

and  also

takes great care in designing

and sewing

the perfect bear to 

accompany her books

jeri landers

and

what color to make her frock. 

jeri landers

There's someone out there

who cares

what color a bear's clothes 

should be. 








To all of you

heartists who care about what you do.

So Then

I've been thinking.

via

I've been thinking about the


swollen purple fists

  

in my garden

 

that will rise

via

  

then fall dead before my eyes.


*****



I've been thinking.

via

I've been thinking about

the wings in my tree 

that have fluttered down 

as one pulse with me

via

 

only to fly off and 


be no more.

via

 

Then there are

the hydrangeas

that stand along the fence 

like stiff soldiers  

without protest.

Withered in the snow

they wait for their dazzling

  

heads to nod victory

when the battle is

over.

via

  

Then I started to think about 

myself.

via

 

About us.

via

via

via

via

Because if a flower that

cannot bleed

dies

to shed its seed 

via

and if a bird that cannot cry

 

tumblr

 
sings humble praise to the

most high 

unknown

then that which comes 

and goes on

must 

RISE AGAIN.

~So then~

  
What about Us Who Can Love?

Love is forever but it starts now. 
 
Happy Life Eternal, Everybody.
