Seeing Blue Jay

A poem

Photo by Kyle Van Alstyne on Unsplash

Sometimes you just need to see something unexpected to see life anew again

Like seeing a blue jay minding its own business fluttering and strutting around the school courtyard enrobed in blue and white and a crown of spiked or slicked back heights to remind you of childhood when life was more in sync and in tune with nature and the self and things like heaven and with hell (these days there’s no way to tell)

Before the dreaded bell made everything smell like trouble brewing so exponentially that even the centre cannot hold

So that the blue jay leads me down a path towards my way back to innocence because living jaded jade is like living in the shade and I want to live in colour again as vibrant as the blue crest of a blue jay.
