Darkest Night

Posted on December 22, 2015 by eteal

it is the darkest night

or the longest day –

depending on where on the globe you stay…

long ago,

just me and You

sat by a fire too.

landings

i sit

and watch a bird sitting in a bush,

in as much as a bird can sit.

sparrow in bush

i will watch with you, but i do not sit –

i perch,

or

stand

or

fly.

but all of us watch, and listen and learn,

whether we are finned, feathered or furred,

as the world goes by.

she arrived in a purr,

soft and homeless.

white as a cloud (well on a rainy day),

filled with fleas and topped with grease –

purhaps from a night-time nap in a hubcap…..

tula white cat

here is respite and love,

for her as well.

beginning flight

Posted on December 16, 2015 by eteal

the crane took off –

awkwardly at first,

neck still curled in the scroll of standing,

wings beating hard against the invisible gravity of the earth

she gained air –

and then soared.

crane starting flight

reminding me,

awkward is eventually graceful,

 wings must go both up and down if i am to fly,

and the gravity of any situation can be overcome.
