Blue Bird

Eyes closed 

and through the heart I see, 

rainbows and blue skies

from you to me. 

I listened to the silence

as if a whisper could be heard,

that tomorrow brings a new day

on the wings of a blue bird. 

~

Push or pull 

as I reach for your hand, 

to find the void 

as the full command. 

Nothing but nonsense

sorrow to exchange

as I gazed at the heavens

to find it's just another day. 

~

 The snow is once more falling

 and a blanket of white is here,

in the midst of winter 

with no one here to share. 

Butter cups and roses,

sunshine and blue skies

are all but a dream away

that mess with the mind.
