Pajaro by Mary Lynn Archibald Friday, November 24, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan Written on a solo visit to the California coast.

Shore birds, stilt-like Skitter, scatter Leaving me to my sandy solitude. They circle and land Cleverly Always behind me Covering damp sand with rapid, tiny birdtracks. I am smiling– (Their determined dance against the tide Always makes me smile). Aloneness is not the same as lonliness. It’s only later I continue down the beach to find Broken shells, Sargasso weed, and then A fallen duck; a seaweed noose About his neck. Mary Lynn Archibald ©2003

A lovely poem with happy scenes; I wouldn't mind being there....but then there's the sad ending. Like life, there's a mixture of hapiness and sadness every day. Savor the happy scenes, and continue to share them all. Connie
