Cardinal

I am impatiently a-run.
That night I caught a glimpse of.
I can see you, I can just see you now.
"Where were you when I needed you?"

Cold hearts and colourful eyes.
Vibrant leaves on growing darker skies.
Through the winter hearts recovered, new.
But "where were you when I needed you?"

I am waking up again.
Who do you think you are?
