Red- Winged Blackbird
Walking through High Park in May,
Watching the sun shining, while my heart’s gray,
The birds flit around, soaring, twittering,
Singing their songs of love and grieving
As they reflect spring colors in the Red-
Winged Blackbird, male, whose beautified
The sky with his colorful presence
And song of harmony with nature’s opulence.
He skims on the lake, greeting the loving
Swans, whose necks form a heart holding
On to their peaceful punion. The blackbird
Opens his wings and the red, yellow winged
Flighs back to the cherry blossoms
Whose white, pink, flowers calms
The disheartened souls without a qualm
As it promotes serenity that’s a balm
As their delicate transience
Is a reminder that life flashes with a purpose
Of acquiring wisdom, family, money,
To live a life of harmony like a monkey.
