Dark Bird
unexpected i could not unsee
this dark bird appearing before me
i stood still among the walking
as not to alarm this visiting
foraging fellow below the tree
food there finding i could not see
am i the only one noticing
so much beauty hops along
unexpected with a flap of wings
lands closer upon the fence
regarding me with a curious eye
my mind racing our relevance
before more than a breath a sigh
another flap of wings up and away
through the portal in the sky
alas too brief this silent stay
