WORDS & PICTURE COMBINATION #5

MERHABA MY FRIENDS


LAST ROBIN RED BREAST

I SIT WITH FOLDED ARMS
AND LEGS OUT STRETCHED
ON AN OLD DEPLETED BENCH
THAT HAD LONG SEEN BETTER DAYS
PEELING PAINT AND UNKNOWN STAINS
AND MESSAGES CARVED WITH LOVE.

THE DYING SIGNS OF WINTER
BEING OVERTAKEN BY THE
FRESHNESS OF SPRING TIME
THE LAST ROBIN RED BREAST
RESTING ON THE BRANCH
CATCHING HIS BREATH
BEFORE FLYING TO PASTURES NEW

THE LITTLE ROBIN
OF WHICH WE SEE SO FEW
A DELIGHT TO SEE
AS SNOW FLAKES TUMBLE
ON A COLD WINTERS NIGHT
IS NOW READY TO TAKE FLIGHT

TOO WHO KNOWS WHERE.
