A Lonely Vigil...

Poem Artwork


Keeping track of her sea,


Ocean waves breaking around her,


Within sight of mans ever widening world,


Looking at the photographer, me…


 


Through storms rough passing,


Through summers of heat & sun,


Human children on the beach having fun,


In her stomach for her young its fish she is amassing…


 


Ever vigilant stalking a meal,


She keeps her post watching,


Eventually from a local fisherman,


She may a fish steal…

She's not lonely Ed, she's finally found a place where she can inspire, and get away from the others, stealing her game!
Loved it!

A wonderful write for a misaligned bird. For all the bad publicity, all she wants is to feed her family and live. Thanks Ed.
Love,
