The bright-eyed Kite
Struggling against
The wind of turbulent years

Efforting to find a
Calm pocket within the swirl

In which
She can rest,
Regain her strength
    
*     *     *     *    *

The lively Kestrel
Ever moving
In her searching spiral

Questing for her sustenance
The morsel
That may sate her yearning

Quell her doubt

*    *    *    *    *

The gentle Dove
Nested in the cloisters
Wearing her mourning grays
And morning pinks

Warms her progeny
Sweetly
At her breast

Could take freedoms’ flight
But stays

And gives love

I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light
You come to me out of my dreams
Across the night

Ed, I always read your poetry more than
once. Each time I get more meaning from
it. But still can't find the proper
description of how I truly love it. You
are an amazing writer, friend.
Hugs,
Ethel

And so those gentle wings have opted to remain grounded for the moment?

This is amazingly beautiful Ed, on so many levels. Smiling here.

sweet sweet man.

You are a sage in yeti fur.



You are so calming. Sometimes I feel like such a live wire and your words, just ground me.

As much as I enjoy reading

I enjoy what you elicit from
your peers...

thank you, Sir...
