Observations from the Garden

bittersweet

Posted on December 1, 2015 by The Course of Our Seasons

January Bluebird

my chest breaks open
a birds nest where my heart used to be
it has flown south
on the backs of wild geese
leaving a tangle of sweet grass
and bittersweet

I wake from a meditation on forgiveness
as the sun rises in a clear December sky

The photo is so BEAUTIFUL, and your poem very lovely and – wistful? No, bittersweet. I especially love the “tangle of sweetgrass and bittersweet”.
