A Sudden Warm Day in Winter

 

Sunshine

awakening me

to a chorus of birds

Bluebirds of happiness

Quetzals of glory

Phoenixes of regenerating hope

Hummingbirds of fierce determination

to suck the sweetness from life

 

 

These poems appear in the book by the author, Heart Strong: 2001-2012, published by Estuary Press in October of 2013.
