Bill, this is a wonderful piece. Your poem touched me greatly. I guess we all have those moments of reflection but we don't talk about them - or write about them. I have a teardrop in my eye too. Simply beautiful. I love your solitary little bird. Take a bow.
Robert James Waller (he who wrote "Bridges of Madison County") wrote a little book of essays called "Old Songs in a New Cafe". Among them was a touching essay on Orange Band, the Last Dusky Seaside Sparrow. Your poem recalled that essay to me. If you can find a copy of the book, you might like to read it. Thanks for sharing your poetic talent, Bill!

Maybe not exotic but certainly riveting and touching in it's simplicity. Simply sincere and somewhat sad...but excellent.
This is just you Sir William.
Very touching and just brilliant. I love it.xx
