bird

Click here to hear the poet read his words:

bird

waves rumble
round the rocks
in November sunshine

I sit
gazing at the Mediterranean
my mind
far away
across the planet
or somewhere
deep inside myself
when I see
overhead
a solitary bird

a waterfowl
perhaps
a Canada Goose

a memory stirs
I start to smile
and
my heart sings

About ceayr

A Scot who has discovered peace in a small town he calls Medville on the Côte Vermeille, C.E. Ayr has spent a large part of his life in the West of Scotland and a large part elsewhere. His first job was selling programmes at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success. He is somewhat nomadic, fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random. So, nobody’s perfect.

    Lovely poem… and how it ends;
    a memory stirs
    I start to smile
    and
    my heart sings
    a wonderful note to end it on!
