I hear the call of the Ibis


I hear the call of the Ibis

I look up to see their silhouettes

Passing across overcast skies


The air is thick with moisture

It creates a cocoon of silence

A weight that isn’t heavy


Invisible rain drops fall

A symphony for bird song

Pulling forth earth’s fragrance


Green surrounds me

Clean and fresh

Soothing my eyes, my heart, my soul


It is early morning

A fleeting moment in time 

Can I hold it for a little longer?
