A Bird Softly Soars

I rarely write free verse.

At the Cochise Writer’s Celebration on Friday, I got a random prompt I couldn’t resist.

A Bird Softly Soars

Wings spread

Flitting among trees

Never landing for long

Seeking perfection

A nest, safe, shaded

Home

For but one season

Weeks of waiting

The newness of life

Nurturing

Fledglings take flight

On tentative wings

A hop, a jump, a flap

Away!

South

To new lands

Known but to the soul

Always returning

Building nests

The cycle unbroken

But for Man
