Skydancer
This is a poem about one of our endangered birds of prey, the Marsh Harrier.
Dancing in the air
moving to an unheard tune
instinctive steps
laid out
under the summer moon.
never to be seen on stage
nor laid upon the page
Ballerina of the sky
above the ground
nothing escapes
your searching eye.
Dancer of the air
princess of heather and moor
pirroueting to finish your dance
no audience to approve
or imagine
a fatefull, longing romance.
All alone
you dance above
only the clouds
to give
you love.
