Happy Birthday Diane!

Day 22

January 22, 2021

Hawk sits up high

Absolute silence

Fresh thin layer of snow

Large grey clouds moving

    swiftly.

You sit up there

confident.

Powerful wings ready to lift you

    Take you

    to pounce upon some

    underneath prey.

A single patch of deep blue

in the shape of an island

above our heads.

You sit in silence

I sit in awe of your nature.

Are we so different?

    in size

and you can fly.

I barely walk

We are both composed

of our individual experiences.

Yet, your confidence

far surpasses mine

My expectations

may surpass yours

There is so much I do not know

So much I want to know

So high I want to fly.

Where the big birds fly; I only saw the one today, but I convened for an hour.  I watched fronts blow in.  I have been watching these dead trees for 11 months now.  In 6 more weeks the herons will begin to return to fix up their nests in this sky.

K.C. brought me pizza, made me happy.  Thank you, K.
