🪷blue survivor

a poem for a loved one who's had a hard path

Little indigo bunting, 
  with your blues deep and bright,

you've journeyed hard and far.

Your song has survived
   rough storms and dark nights.

Carry on, like the hero you are.

I’ve seen indigo buntings only twice and briefly. I think they’re beautiful. They’re migratory and travel large distances every year. Here’s a photo of one from Unsplash.com:
