This is a poem that I just read, it's by a 70-year-old man here on spacehey, he hasn't been active for about a year but I want to share this poem

"blackbirds

there's blackbirds in the berry bush
red berries contrast the black of the birds
the greyish brown of the bark & the white of the snow
winter has fallen upon delby
with its cold grey days & chilly winds

for matilda- winter is tea in the cup
fire in the hearth & a good book
outside― great big billowy puffs of snow float down
landing with an almost perceptible thud
she'll while away the day watching the snow fall
while drinking her tea & reading

meanwhile outside the snow will fall & the chilly wind blow
as the days turn into weeks then weeks into months
as winter presses on― with the silence of the snow

broken―

by the sound

of blackbirds

in the berry bush"
