Sandhill Cranes – Dignity and Grace

Sandhill Cranes

Dignity and Grace

They stride across the painted marsh 
with dignity and grace

when eve’s dark vigil passes,

and morning takes its place

The calls and cries of “feathered kind”
trumpet through the air
as cranes and all the waterfowl
chant bliss without a care.
