Life : Melody of Quietude

_____________________

Day ...
Is shining bright
... Now

Yet ...
It was
That night ...
... Of nights

Moon ...
Was full
And ... overflowing

Light ...
A thin veil
Of gossamer

Through
That warp
I caught
... A glimpse
Not apparition
...
Of Being ...
... And not
Mere happening

Ethereal Melody
Wafting along
Layers of
Existence

Holding me
In everlasting
Quietude ...
... My Beloved

A beautifully taken image of this duo.

You know, whenever I see a picture of these guys, it takes me back to my early days birding. I was sitting beside one of our lochs in the autumn and a skein of geese came in (Greylag). They settled on the water and swam in my direction. There amongst them was a Bar-headed (had to look in my book though LOL). Obviously he had escaped from somewhere and latched on to the Greylags (didn't know about these things at the time LOL).

Thanks for the memory Alok.
