A Lost Silhouette

A songbird is as much felt as seen,
just begging to be freed from its shadow,
a silhouette lost in unexplored territory.

The dark and the light do battle for the soul. Dark, she is the mind of yours and light being submerged.

This songbird is glorious!! Reaching beyond, hoping even further.
BRAVA Rick, this is in my top 5 moments you have captured.

Can’t take my eyes off of this soaring songbird!!

Ephemeral, untouchable, unfathomable. Floating through light and air, gently dreaming. Beauty in a flash of feathers. Poetry! Once again, you excel!
