Poetry: Wink

WINK

Morning sunlight, sun low

stretch shadows long,

twinkle through the branches

that sway in the current,

bath me please

Stronger the light

Harsher the dark

Sun can not be everywhere

nature’s landscape prevents it

God made or not

Crow flys by

nods its head

as if it remembers me

Your life so simple Crow

Please brood over my features

A wink when you fly by will let me know

They are fixed in your mind

The Sun may not always find me

Yet your wing’s move you

amongst the penumbras

and illumination

Your nod Crow brings me comfort,

for somewhere by someone

I am remembered…
