The Swallows fly high this evening
Chasing bugs.
For those little things they dart in changing directions;
Rise up, plummet.
Moodlike. Lovelike.
Today one is dead.
I pick it from the stones and place it in the undergrowth.
There it will rot.
This evening I shall watch the others.
Remembering.

A caring share piece my friend...a splash of suttle imagery paints the scene well.....nice work Adrian.....shows you have heart
Life is fragile, and of course that is part of its beauty. Watching birds, mindful of their mortality, is a fresh take. Very nice. Thanks, G
