A Good Beginning ... (Grus antigone)

Life : A good beginning
_____

It will only be
appropriate to begin
a new year at
the BF ... with one
of my all time
favorite birds ...

That night ...
In peak summer
... not as
harsh as this ...
Moon was full
... sky shining
in its glow ... softly
merging into deeper
darker recesses ...

... a pair of these
magnificent birds ...
... flew across
the Celestial lamp
... not very
low ... and calling ...

That setting ...
... and that sound
now ...
playing perpetually
into my
... milieu interior
...
And ...
That was ...
more than
five decades ago ...

But
I know it well
... as well
My Friend ...

It is the one
That goes on
... forever
and across
