The sky is a sombre grey, <br />no sunlight to shine through, <br />but across this background, <br />a lone bird flew. <br />He was looking for scraps <br />someone may have discarded carelessly <br />to feed the hunger <br />that was consuming him. <br />Whether he found the meal <br />he was looking for I cannot tell. <br />He few over the rooftops <br />out of my line of vision <br />and way out of my view.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lone-bird/
