IF YOU STAND STILL LONG ENOUGH

Today, two cardinals
landed in front of me.

One,
bright red

the other
pale.

The bright one
stared at me

and
I
back.

It lasted
awhile!

I can't
explain
what happened

but
something
did!

I'm
not
the
same!

If you stand
still
long
enough

life will
plant

seeds.

You don't
need to know
what kind

just make
your soil
fertile

kick back
and
enjoy

the show!

  1. Another blog that is so true!! I know exactly what you mean…I have spent time watching a rabbit stand frozen in the grass…his eyes studying you but not moving…hoping you will not notice him…nature is amazing…so pure, innocent, perfect…just trying to survive out there…can we relate??!! The bright cardinal who was checking you out was the male…he was probably just trying to determine if you were friend or foe. Isn’t it amazing how much animals communicate with their eyes…the eyes are the mirror of the soul! Spring is my absolute favorite season because everything has a new beginning and is coming alive again with so much beauty after the long, dreary winter. There is something about the air, the earth, the sky and the welcomed warmth of the sun. Love, love , love this time of year!!
    Happy Spring!
