The birdsong breaks the silence

Hovering under an open sky

Giving a drone’s eye view

Of how the world should be. 

 

Until aerial combatants arrive -

Disturbers of the peace

Prompting listening 

To the inner voice of memory

And what brought us here,

As she finds her nest

And I am soon at rest

In the quietness 

Of creative contemplation

That energises aother day.
