A Solitary Flight

by Joan

A single bird, silhouetted 

against the sky,

flies north as the

sun begins its

slow ascent. Is he flying to

join his flock or

did he leave his 

flock behind? For

now his journey, be it short 

or long, is a

solitary 

one  and he  so small.

    Most touched by “and he so small.” Reassured by “for now”. Thanks, Dabney
