Three Am

Three AM

She sits,
feathered robe
silent in the wind.

Unblinking eyes,
colder than the
iced terrain,
peer into
pained whiteness.

Gripping tightly
slender hope.

this one is SO interesting because I imagined a person and then the bird once I saw it was for the contest, or it could be person who is a night owl, like me!! I really like this one.
