Side Eye of the Sand Hill Crane| Kind Rebuke in a Fast-Paced World

 



Side Eye of the Sandhill Crane
by Chanda Singleton Griesë

Stopping traffic in rush hour
Who do you think you are—
Puffing your feathers,
Strutting across the boulevard?

Without a care in the world
There's nothing you need
While the world pushes forward
At breakneck speed—

Your outstretched neck
Signifies a quiet dignity.
The world can wait
You remind me—

That in this rush
I let the world set the pace
Beauty is left behind
Concrete and steel replace

More found on my Subtack here.
