ALONE

ALONE by  Sorin  Reck

ALONE

Time has passed, another day
Where flights are flown and fledglings play
And faces light up in the sun
To welcome time that has begun

Whilst busy, working on the wing
Foraging, for food to bring
To make the most of daylight hours
Feeding around scented flowers

Yet soon the time will come to hide
To wrap up warm and stay inside
For peril does Dark’s company keep
Where hunters have no need to sleep

So off we fly, in harmony
Then search on for a sanctuary
We dance the sky and sing a song
Evening nigh, it won’t be long

And as I wait for night to draw
Protected here from tooth and claw
Cooped up in this tiny space
I’m safe within my secret place.

Thanks very much Julie Langford

  • Starr1949

    Starr1949, about 1 year ago

    Looks like a Snow White dove….He sends his pure sweet love.! Beautiful, and alone. Trapped it seems The wood beneath it squared off and the coloring and fading of it into darkness…is a nice added touch. a coupole of pieces of straw sticking out from the gaps between the planks. Just a tad of contrast. Very, very sweet! Good Job!
