Shadow's Source

 

Whenever a quick,

silent shadow sweeps

over the ground around me,



I immediately look up

toward the sun,

to find the shadow's source.



Was it a Turkey Vulture,

Red-tailed Hawk,

or Sandhill Crane?



A Canada Goose, of course,

would announce its arrival

before it arrived. 



This time a large surprise:

a Bald Eagle carving easy circles

between sun and clouds.



Silent shadows

sweeping the earth,

far below the source.
