Waiting and waiting
for this time to pass
waiting and waiting
for that time to arrive
The perfect moment
The perfect setting
Quiet in the midst of
sounds of only birds
and rowing of the boatman
splashing of water on the oars
And then you watch
and soak it in
Like a deep breath that
makes you alive from within
etched forever in your mind
it cannot be erased
Even the click of the camera
cant capture the image
As you look above
and they fly overhead
Pink with their "S" necks
A few hundred they said
Flying in a "V "
whilst changing formations
with unspoken coordination
diving and gliding
with almost divine grace
Sighting these beautiful flamingoes
almost seem
like I just stepped into
the perfect dream!
..as I lay there
ReplyDeleteand saw the flamingoes go by
a simple thought interrupted my joy
what if I could fly with the flamingoes some day
and look down on a lady having a lazy day
would I then dream of floating under the sun
and not worry about the cruel hunter with the gun
for flying is all about looking for food
and not about making the sky look good
with a foolish drop of tear I silently cried.. why .. why is grass always greener on the other side!
well done :) ..
