Solitude

Solitude Perched high on deadwood, far above An old crow awaits, the return of love These years gone by, she has been gone Each day he returns, no voice, no song In Stoic silence, his vigil is true To the one and only, who ever knew The soul of this one, his only mate As days grow short, he will always wait Stoic

Thank you David. Thank for taking the time to read this piece. This old, and very large crow visits my property every day, alone, and never makes a sound. He is very tame....we have named him Sam. - Stephen
