There are birds in dark masses, <br />Prior to migration. <br />Collecting in marshes, <br />On ploughed land or green. <br />They heed a clear image <br />Of far destination. <br />Over great waters <br />They use sight unseen. <br /> <br />There are fish in the rivers, <br />Prior to spawning. <br />Battling strong currents, <br />Or leaping upstream. <br />Amazingly agile, <br />Unceasing their efforts. <br />Knowing no limits, <br />Though by sight unseen. <br /> <br />There are animal instincts <br />Prior to mating, <br />Send herds across deserts <br />To locate their dream. <br />No mountain or forest <br />Prevents the intention <br />Of ending their mission <br />Without sight unseen. <br /> <br />There are people, who living <br />Prior to meeting <br />Instinctively knowing <br />Such distance between <br />Will never be barrier <br />To love's culmination <br />Of waiting with longing, <br />Despite sight unseen.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sight-unseen/
