Goldfinches

Goldfinches

Her arrival

Her presence

The fluttering of

     Her wings

Yellow like the sun

She breaks the monotony

Of brown, a beautiful

     Color yes

But not yellow

     Like the goldfinch

She brings light

Goldfinches are symbolic of joy, enthusiasm, positivity, and persistence. In Christianity, these birds have a strong symbolism and are sacred. In the ancient Egyptian culture, they were personified as the souls of dead human beings. The Native Americans consider them to be symbolic of prosperity and abundance.

The goldfinch was also seen as a protector against the plague.

It represents many abstract ideas: genius, innocence, captivity, history, beauty, timelessness, resilience, dignity, and truth.

No wonder I just smile when they come to the feeder.
