Blue Jay
Way up high in a forest oak tree
Looking for this seasons harvest
Feathers ruffled together
Glistening in the freshly fallen white snow
The sun reflecting off of the snow
My feathers shine like blue, white jewels
My long, glossy wings flapping in the wind
As I soar off into the brisk, forbidding sky
Pretending to be free while trapped in this cold-hearted world
The clouds are translucent, piercing right through me as I fly
The misty, frosty sky reminds me of a place that I once visited in my dreams
My home
It begins to snow, hard.
The blizzard, wind, and icy air
Makes my wings begin to fall
Then I fall
My body lays in the wintry snow
Frozen mind
Frozen lungs
Frozen heart
The thought of you warms my heart
As the cold, bitter wind strikes my beak
Unable to breathe
My quiet, weak chirp
Trying to seek help
Leaves me suffocating
I am my worst enemy
Struggling to find hope to keep going
“You have to find strength”
“I will rise”
“God help me”
Faith is my friend
Faith wraps me up in a blanket full of love
My faith warms up my wings
Warms up my heart
GIves me hope I’ve been longing for, for years
I was lost, but now I am found
