Make A Wish

I was wondering about at a zoo.. So many things I saw were new. I came upon this fellow you see. He was looking at a place across the sea.. I stood there staring at his face. I wondered why he stared into space. A tear did form on my eye. I saw no tears in his oh why.. If I could do just one thing for you. I would make a wish of freedom for you… To play across the wild forest green. To cry with joy not being in this dream..

    ah wouldn’t you just love to know what is on their mind – their something very sad and painful in their expression – it is as if they somehow know what is happening to their species – very beautiful Chuck and actually pretty powerful.

  • velveteagle replied

    I think life as we know it we can feel.. Why would they not know comes to my mind.. But we as people will not listen to each other enough to change.. Maybe that’s why they don’t talk to us..Bless you Deb..

    A glorious capture of this adorable, but sad, creature. Your delightful verse completes this wonderful artistic package very nicely Chuck. His gaze and contemplation really spoke to you I see. Such talent! Wonderful work on both counts. Len

  • velveteagle replied

    No matter our outer shell of protection .. When we touch the inner us how can we not feel the loss of other living things.. You Len touch with such art.. Bless you..
