…red bird

…today i felt the deepest and saddest part of abandonment-

God had left me-

why had my father left me-

and there appeared a red bird-

sitting there at the exit of an interstate -

surely he will fly away quickly-

but he did not move, even slightly as I passed-

even in my rearview, he remained-

and God said to me, “I have not left you, nor will I ever- solid feet like that of the red bird- my love has not, nor shall not be moved”-

God is-
