While Watching Swifts

It was while tracing
the arc
and the twist
of swifts
with his naked eye
across a
still and salmon pink
September sky
when out
of the blue, it dawned
on him ..
It must, at least be
love, art,
or poetry, he thought ..

Just stunning Nev, I have a passion for watching starlings not that I see them often and when I do I'm usually driving. They entrance me...they are dangerous creatures and should be banned whilst I'm driving... as should I whilst they fly!!! That's why I loved these poetic thoughts of yours...just hope you weren't driving when you had them 😆 x
