Crows on Sycamore Tree

Power lies in community

Sunset time,

I was coming from a local park,

crow cawing sound in the air.

I looked at an enormous bare sycamore,

glowing in the amber light.

As I looked closer,

I saw seventy-something crows

perches on the branches,

cawing, until more joined,

what a spectacle it made!

As dusk was falling,

they all flew, to their night shelter

to the jungle.

and my respect for crows grew.

You can call them dark,

an inelegant bird,

one that has harsh noise

which eats from trash bin,

but see their social skill.

It is smart to know:

power lies in community.
