Direction

by

Frank Valentyn

Two ibises flew over glittering roofs
in the limpid middle distance
halfway to the hazing summer limb
cawing their observations
blending familiar with the unknown

I heard one say:
'Believe your good fortune!'
and the other answered:
'Fly in the direction of your belief
with strength and patience!'

I went back inside
into the coolness
the familiar and utterly unknown
studied her from the middle distance
and blended my flight with hers

'Strength, patience!'
I still heard them calling
gradually receding
'Believe in the direction!'
and knew that what guided them was love
