Very descriptive within its lines Karen The truth of life. No softly softly in reality Unless it's that of the owls gliding in air Or the feathers it preens Before that meal is gleaned.'

Ah, yes! The peaceful state of nature -- shattered by reality. Love that turn in the third line. ~ Birds defy words, Gershon
