Vultures

Vultures -----

-----------passing over dying shadows

nothing to feast on

the wind came and carried them away

Sandy I don't know where You went but I think You should come back and continue to write because You have talented marking threw out Your Poetry and it really is worth expanding it into New Horizons...Keep writing and never give up and never give in and that is spoken from a very small Heart compared to Others but it is meant....

Grim but so vivid and real, it takes a good pen to do so with very few words ' ------- passing over dying shadows... ' An air of Tennyson genius here! Good write Sandy!

They will move on when there is no carrion to be found. The shadows had no substance; so they went elsewhere to find something. I hope that clarified things somewhat for your other commenters.

You have to stop by and tell me the meaning of this. I can make all kinds of assumptions but there is nothing greater than the true meaning from the creator of this magnificent piece. I simply love reading it and how its displayed.

I guess I took a little long to get to this poem, but worth the wait. When you read a poem that is so short, but has so much meaning it is intriguing. Great Work.
