I’ve been seeing a lot of trumpeter swans heading south lately. They fly in the same V formation as geese, but they don’t make that terrible racket that geese are notorious for. They’re more graceful in their flight and more gracious in their departure.

take to the sky

i wish them well

as they fly by

and in return

they wave goodbye

Above the Fray

I like to keep my posts on the lighter side, but lately the news is a steady diet of death and destruction, and I’m stuffed. Sometimes I envy the birds flying free above it all.

it seems like almost every day,

there’s more bad news that comes our way;

it makes me want to spread my wings

and fly above the fray
