Curlew Poem by David Devereux

Curlew



The plaintive cry of the curlew
is sadly, heard no more
on the bleak and windswept moor
I wandered as a child long ago.

But now, as I walk the heathered upland,
in my mind's ear I hear it calling,
like a ghostly spirit whistling
on the wind of sixty, lost forever years.
