Peaceful Buzzard.

Goldfinch60



I hear the plaintiff call above,

I look up and see the bird,

The wide outstretched wings

Allowing the bird to float in circles

So placidly around the sky

Looking down at the world.

The thought comes to me,

I could do that,

Just float in peace

Looking down at life.

Yes that is what I want to be,

I want to be a buzzard.

    A fine write again Gold. Yes, the birds have all the sky to fly in.

      Thank you Orchi, they are majestic.

      Majestic are our large birds of prey. When i lived at Upper Wick there were a pair of buzzard regularly above us. We were honoured to see them in their mating 'dance' whereby, at height, they lock talons and tumble, twirling earthwards. Not an everyday sight.
      Back in the nineties they were a rare sight in our county but numbers have greatly increased now and yes, just as you say, they are a pleasure to watch as they glide and soar. Masters of the skies.

        A favourite of mine is the majestic buzzard - - here in south Cornwall they are increasing again - so pleased to read your lovely tribute to the peace their flight portrays.

              I often watch episodes on "birds of.prey" and your poem has captured the image precisely.

                I see Buzzards often on my walks indeed a graceful and for me inoffensive creature. Your fine words illustrate well the thoughts they provide in their grace. Thank you

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Moordy, I see them in the sky above our home quite frequently, circumstances don't let me go out walking in the countryside anymore.
