Wanderer

I gaze in wonder
         at your beauty.
         Imprisoned in
         your glass cage.

         Lifeless now,
         your corpse on show
         for coffee breakers 
         to idle away a few moments.
   
         Only I understand 
         how you soared over oceans
         you solitary, wandering bird.

        My albatross.

Were you in a museum recently? I get that idea from reading your very descriptive words.

Not recently but I have visited Albert the Albatross quite a lot and wished to see an Albatross in the wild. I do not want these wonderful birds to become extinct. How terrible that future generations may not see these beautiful creatures.
