The Albatross

spilleronsheet

 

Spread its wings in fear 

Whether the glide or hide 

Whether the life of excited feels 

Or plunge in abyss of fallen  nights

    This is truly beautiful it carries the reader on wings even if ever so briefly. a fave

    There is a deep loneliness in this, and wings we need to escape yet plunging would suggest loss of hope. A beautiful emotional and image rich poem. 🌹

    The albatross sure gets a bad wrap.
    Even before it flies, it seems to be destined to fall.
