A shore bird's reverie

Resigned to the march of nature,
Heedless to the spray
From the steaming wave,
A shore bird roosts brood
On the shore
Rolled by the sand shifting

As the tide shifts:
Some day this planet too,
The earth crust shifting
As universe turns side,
Like wealth and fame
To nothingness sinks.

Pines he not after his wings
Stained by tides
Or his passing original form,
So sunk is he in his only thirst
To drink creation whole,
Casting self out, to become

One with life.

Hi Yoonoos Peerbocus. Hows Mauritius?
Your poetry holds itself in a realm of its own.
As I read it I have to think long and hard about what is your driving theme.
I think you have depth and understanding
Keep writing
Peace to you.
