Summary:
An old one.
 
Upon this path – where winter greets
a footpath walker’s stride
a robin’s voice affects me so
for what I hear implied.
 
He echoes language through the woods
in words no man can say.
Ensnaring thus my downcast soul
to turn my thoughts his way.
 
I’m curious if his pensive plea  
was borne from some unrest
for one departed from his life
now gone to heaven’s nest?
 
I know I’ll never understand 
orations from the glen –
but when my heart renews anew
That’s when I’ll try again.

    1. I like how this poem captures the quiet beauty of a winter walk and turns a simple robin’s song into something almost spiritual. I feel the mix of melancholy and hope -the way the bird’s call stirs thoughts of loss, yet also hints at renewal and trying again. Beautiful
