I watched its solitary fly by
And wondered if it felt
Lonesome for the many it had once
Belonged to
Yet left,
Or if it was a scout,
Holding a memory of a long-ago-known
Place to land
That others had forgotten
Or had misplaced the
Sense of.
Will it circle back to its own,
Flapping on the wing
In fatigued relief,
To let the rest know
It had found this night’s
Home?

Thank you, Crispina! Storks tend to travel in flocks — a bit like people … and there is that question of whether one is just being their own choice of self, or what unusual errand one might be on if flying solo …

🙂 I do like my solo flying, myself … sometimes just because and sometimes on errands … 😉

You fly? Like pilot a plane? I envy you. The sense of … being alone for miles upon miles.
Okay, back to the entranced visualisations ….

No … not a literal solo flying, but the non-flying-flying one … 😉 Just as in, going about things (on different levels) on my own by choice, as well as often on errands for others …
Piloting this body is plenty work for me. I’m not harking to pilot an aircraft … (though it WOULD be fun!)
