Silhouette
Two swallows on a broken cattail sprout
Folded wings, just sitting about
Their feathers shining in the sunlight
Sitting, resting, not ready for flight.
Nestled close together
Enjoying the beautiful weather
Feather ruffling in the breeze.
Totally relaxed, completely at ease.
Their graceful forms silhouetted
against the blurred background
Several shades of brown pigmented
No chirping, just the wind for sound
A witness to nature’s spectacular art
All too soon the swallows depart
A burst of joy, they did spark
Forever to treasure in my heart
