Babies' hungry cries
Mother rises, spreads her wings
The night holds its breath

Birds are remarkable creatures. I can only fly in my mind and with the help of a plane.

oh, my gosh was this for the haiku contest that closed out already? If so, what a shame it did not get an award. I think it is outstanding. So nice to meet you tonight. Luv, Andrea
