blue jay

The one second I chose
to glance out the window
was the same second
you chose to land on the branch.

I immediately wonder
what meaning you bring,
what hidden message you carry,
what I’m destined to interpret.

You make me think of him.

Maybe
it was only coincidence.
A magnificent coincidence.

bird in the wind

Believe you are stronger than the wind.
Take another breath
flap your wings a few times more
change your angle slightly, if you must,
but keep going.
Keep fighting.
Just when you think you have nothing left
the gust will subside,
and surge forward, you will.

Believe you are stronger than the wind
and keep fighting.
