On Birds

The skies have eyes

The trees wings

The ground has feet

And

The water sings.

The vultures soar

Patiently.

The francolins course

Timidly.

The swans tread

Elegantly.

The world moves

Continuously:

The wind turns

The water flows

The land bellows

And the birds

They exist.

Elemental,

Ancient

Companionship:

When did it begin

How can it end.

Who has foretold

Who has predicted

And to what end?
