| Soaring Seabirds by Kenneth A. Elliott Soaring seabirds o�er the river Beneath the crystal blue of sky, Cubes of ice from spring�s early melt Sauntering slowly under geese on high. Westward zephers gently brush Debris from winter�s weary stay; Ducks and geese returning from the south Unerringly find their northern way. The daystar�s smile gently warming Both fish and foul with the budtime�s awakening. New life prepares its emerging; Another winter�s passage gladly forsakening. On the Ottawa River Holy Saturday East Hawkesbury, Ontario April 14, 2001 |
