They are so wise to not ask why Silent One! Your contemplative piece is sad and sweet! Its sombre notes read to the ear like a symphony! You are truly one of a kind! Happy Weekend!

What a meaningful write S1... I too have seen cracked eggs of pigeons in our window sill outside, while I used wait patiently to see them hatch... but for birds, as you said "arrival of fate is like paper in a storm".. "they just spread their wings and fly"... so true and insightful...God bless... ~ Ani

Ah, love those last two lines, they never ask why, they just fly, wish it was easier to get ourselves off the ground sometimes, lol, nice one Silent One the photo is stunning, do you happen to know who photographed it ? I want to share it on a photography site and want to give the person credit

Wonderful poem! A favorite!

"There is a somber silence, as mist veils morning air. A plethora of feathers float among dew drops" The flow of staggering creativity is obvious. Only those with unwavering resolution can prevail in the face of hardship. Your skillful conveying of this message is excellent! Further, the final two lines deftly shift our gaze, instilling us with a renewed sense of purpose.

I love this poem . Perfect ending too. A Fave for me :)

Much sadness in this powerful write Silent One Nature can be very cruel then you switch over to give us hope. your last 2 lines turn things around giving us a renewed sense of purpose hugs Shadow

Hello Silent One, I love birds and am deeply saddened when harm comes to any of them. We've made our backyard a bird sanctuary. We enjoy watching them go into the bird apartment house in the spring to build their nests. Sadly beautiful bird poem, a fine write. ~

But birds don't ask why, they just spread their wings and fly---much inspiration you convey, SO. When times are hard only the determined survive. A message well delivered!

Something to learn here …

Ahh I love the intense melancholic vibes here.. I don't know why I felt it so befitting for current situation of the world and reminded me of war and people being forced to leave their homes and land.. sigh it made my heart too heavy! Thank you so much for sharing this powerful piece brother!!

Wow that last line is beautiful! And so meaningful. Birds dont ask why they just spread their wings and fly… i love the flow of imagery in this and the way you’ve played around with words is beyond exquisite. Especially “ as mist veils morning air.A plethora of feathers“ love that! Your choice of words and descriptive nature of lines. “ observing fallen nests, cracked eggs and lifeless nestlings.” I can literally see through your profound lines! How artistic. This will be perfect for brians-
