Cardinal

  

I didn’t expect the waves to rise like this again, 



 

It has been so long since I last held her, 7 years today.

 

My human brain struggles as I try to recall all I can,

I want to remember every vivid detail of her life.

 

I can not.  It hurts.

 

But as the pain rises, somehow I feel her again.

Her energy. Her love.

With all the pain comes her.

And I want HER.

 

A cardinal appeared in my window yesterday evening

Never, have I seen one so close

The bright vibrant red, orange, the beauty of its symbolism

I approached the window, took in the moment

 

And then it was gone.

Full Catastrophe Living
