Trust in Nature.

Goldfinch60

I looked into the garden and saw it,

Saw it sitting there on the table,

The young blackbird.

I watched it for a while

This beautiful young soul

Not long into this world.

Some time later I came back

And there he was, still sitting there,

Sitting there so contented.

I went out to him,

He looked at me,

I looked at him.

I walked closer towards him

And he just stayed there

Looking at me,

Not a care in the world.

We conversed in looks

As I got closer,

He just stayed there,

No fear, no fright.

Just two beings of this world

Being together.

The trust he had in me was wonderful

In this beauteous world of nature.

    Lovely write and picture G/F. Any birds around in 1066? I can't remember!

      Only Harold's swan(song).

      Excellent GF. Over here blackbirds are taking over at the expense of other native species, but I like them, nonetheless. It's been a while since I had an encounter with a young one. Lovely capture.

        Thank you Frank, we spend a long time looking at the birds in our garden and love every minute of it.

          A fine narrative, Goldfinch! I enjoyed experiencing it with you.

          Goldfinch, a beautiful description of trust. Reminded me of the trust a toddler has towards his parents.

          • Goldfinch60

            So true, thank you Fred

          • Michael Edwards

            It's the less flamboyant birds that often give the greatest pleasure - sparrows, blackbirds - love 'em

          • Heather T

            What a serene encounter! Thanks for taking us there.

            • Goldfinch60
