Patient Death

High above rich wetland a lone kestrel . Patient death beating, fixed in measureless blue. Elegant white swans swim through rare grasses greeting migrating geese sliding in with the setting sun. Darkness falls, who will sing the requiem?

I love the imagery of those swans and migrating geese. The last line is stunning. I've not seen an etheree divided into stanzas before and I love writing them lots. Cool!
