The Weight of Absence
by
Deborah Hauser

A slender branch extends
An invitation to alight
 
A weightless bird descends
Trilling her evening song
 
Silently she lifts away
Leaving the branch to sway
 
Under blooming emptiness

The Weight of Absence... alongside Under blooming emptiness. An insightful journey between motion & emotion. Thank U!

A fine, slender image, rather like a Japanese scroll painting.
