Two shadows below:
One cast by the bridge
the other birds cast
as a net and settled
or as much as
any living thing
can be a shadow
and a shadow
diffusing like ink
nothing ever lasting
on water or lasting
ever it’s just easier
to see here a shadow
and a shadow
ebbing into
flight
OPTIONAL POETRY 
Love the lilting cadence here…

“diffusing like ink”……”ebbing into flight”….love these lines. Love the bird in flight header photo too. Feel a bit akin here……I just posted a poem on shadows today, with photo I took on Cape Cod. If you look closely, you’ll see the gull that also appears in the poem. Hope you’ll take a peek. My About gives me away …. after all these years of understanding the power of communication, I’m just now finding my inner voice. “Use your words” was a favorite phrase of mine eons ago when the kids were little š And now I find myself listening to those instructive words!
