A Distant Bird

The sun shines out again

on the brown earth the streak of light

the paths of hope lights...then

upsurges all the potions of life:

the scent of stock, the scent of humanity

revolving around the great savannah.

Hovers a warm breeze...



But my vision of a dream

wonders beyond the shadows

to settle on a distant image, a bird,

golden in the sun, rises to fly

over the plains of my heart.



In my memory perpetually she lingers

like these lash, green grass around me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is dedicated to a very important poetry friend i have never met, but her image forms in my mind, and never fizzles out.
