She-Dreams Posted January 29, 2002 Yesterday while I stood on a station platform I saw a sight that moved me enough to put it into a poem. I spent the entire train journey grinning and thanking the Almighty for having witnessed nature at work. Bird Dance In that elusive time before dusk covered the sky with its blanket Black birds clouded an oddly clear winter sky They danced and pranced; dived and jived Happy shapes they drew, in loyal clump they flew A large, fluid, sexy mass out to salute The end of a rare, warm winter's day Now and then a few broke off in sudden flurry Flew their own rebellious way Formed baby mischief-black clouds But rapidly they'd be drawn back To the magnetic, mother swarm Once more they'd be one, an irresistible whole At times the reckless would suddenly Kamikaze-dive Into lazy, unknowing, rooftops Then just as suddenly, a split-moment before contact They'd curve elegantly back into the sky Peacock-proud, eagle-sure; Reunite safely with the fluffy ball Transfixed, I watched; amused, I hid a smile Wished I could swoop, soar and frolic, Somersault in the sky, leave in my wake happy bird-prints Liberated from earthly gravity, buoyed by levity Play catch with the birds, catch play with the birds That's when they flew teasingly, directly above me Hypnotised, back and far fell my head I caught sight of the soft, underside of the dark, feathery wall Then heard a solid, dull thud to my left Startled I turned awkwardly to find A white-green, luminous bird gift on my shoulder I laughed; not a care who saw, in no hurry To remove acknowledgement from my shoulder Celebrated, finally part of their fun-filled game I waited fearfully, hopefully for more luck But they were done wasting time with me and had Returned their attention to a sulking temporarily ignored sky The train arrived on unfortunate time Reluctantly I stepped aboard, took window-seat Pressed face close to cool glass, smiled secret smile and Left my dancing black birds to perform to An early, eager, full-perfect moon held captive In the elusive time before dusk covered A rare, warm winter's sky with its blanket Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
