The blue jay flies –
its shadow cast from autumn skies –
and I am left alone below
with only shadow wings that tow
my heart along in wild ride.
All earthly matters laid aside.
1996

ReplyDeleteThanks Flighty. :-)
DeleteWonderful short verse. You are so contemplative. I would say that a bird flew over -- if I noticed at all, that is. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anvilcloud. I yearn for a connection to nature and the ability to soar with the jay would be exhilarating.
