migratory miracle
1 of 30
it is it's own precious gift
the migration
eagerly witnessed by many
a soul healing vibration
the trill...the hum
an indescribable song
calming of thought
a delight simply to watch
as dance & courtships ensue
a momentary pause
before journey once more begins
& span of wings carry aloft
taking sacred song & moving on
& then the unexpected miracle
a rarity among the flock
a single singer unlike the rest
a special beauty
standing out
simply by being

Hello Willow,
What a delight to read this poem, always each migration of birds brings joy for me as it means that Spring is on its way. We have crane birds here too as they often like mountains and woodlands. You know its a great image that speaks for itself. Isnt it amazing what nature has in store for us. Embrace the gift of this white bird!
best regards
Rianne

She just returned last night & I asked for a few of her favorite shots. This one blew my mind. I've gone with her in years past, but this year she went with friends. It's an otherworldly experience. Thank you so much, Rianne!

Cranes are so majestic, I love seeing them glide through the open air or perched in a mossy woodland. This is a sweet tribute to that special one.

There's nothing like them...their movement, their song. Thank you so much!

She came home last night & this photo spoke most to me. Waiting to write until this morning didn't diminish that inspiration. Thank on behalf of both of us!

I knew I wanted to try writing to one of her photos for NAPO. They're very inspiring to me. The timing of her crane trip was perfect for an opening poem. And the words flowed easily to it. Thank you so much on behalf of poet & photographer!
