Sparrows On the Telephone Wires

Telephone poles stretched 
Far apart from one another
The wires are full
With a flock of sparrows spread
Resting from their long journey

I have seen this, and you have given the imagery the credit it deserves, and the hopefulness the birds require, not even knowing it.
