The Blackbird, by Eric Langford.

Eric Langford, Queensbury is a keen poet and forwarded the following ,to be put on my blog, written by himself inspired by his love of birds, especially the Blackbird.


BLACK AND GOLD

Black as night
And wary too,
Into the shadows
He will retract,
Just as others
Who are wary do.

Yet he need not fear
This common man,
For he too, though
Majestic, proud and joyful too,
Is of common line.

Black as night
And yet eclipsed
By the sunshine’s glow,
That highlights features
Oh so grand.
In orange hue, echoing
The music of this,
Black Nightingale.

What artist with an eye
For bliss, and with an ear,
Would miss this song?
This icon in the midst of noise
This solitaire of wing.
