Frozen Penguin
Flight
Quieter than the church door On wings buoyed by light A darting coal coloured bird Glides the air at dusk As the heat of day fades Warm breast makes for the rest of home High on fingers of wood Edged by coloured velvet Landing to sway, looks around Clear to sing and call to play Rushed not by time Unhurried by another world Springs with a flurry Sweeping the green to the blue Increased in rhythm Riding away into the night
