sometimes the sky talks
not through weather
or shifts in light
but by peeking through
a crumbling roof
i want to scream
it’s not that simple
but a robin lands
near my feet
bringing the sky with it

Very nice.
Thank you
Life is a book… Every day is a new page, every month is a new chapter, and every year is a new series. Some pages are filled with laughter, others stained with tears.
Some chapters bring storms that test our strength, while others shine with the warmth of unexpected blessings. But no matter how difficult a chapter may seem, remember that you are the author.
You hold the pen. You have the power to turn the page, to write a new beginning, and to make the end of your story a masterpiece of hope. Keep writing. #relationships
I loved the idea of the robing carrying a piece of sky to continue the conversation.
Thank you. I sometimes need a double reminder it’s going to be okay. I forget easy.
i like this very much. It feels like an “expanded” haiku.
I suppose it is, in a way. Glad you like it. Thank you!
What a quietly beautiful and evocative poem. 🌤️🐦
I love how you transform something as ordinary as a crumbling roof and a passing robin into a meditation on hope, presence, and the unexpected ways nature speaks to us.
The line “I want to scream / it’s not that simple” introduces such raw human honesty. And then the robin arrives—not with an explanation, but with a little piece of the sky. That contrast is powerful.
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked this one, as it might be one of my recent favorites. I’m always looking for hope, even when things feel like they are stacked against me. Nature has a way of bringing back perspective.
Bridgette, the line a robin lands and brings the sky with it, is beautiful as I believe Robins are messagers from love ones in heaven. RTA 😊
I’ve never heard that about Robins, but that makes total sense. They do seem to be connectors, don’t they? I’m glad you liked this one. Thank you.
