I am a wader
and my plumage is striking
there’s mud, grass, water
as I’m looking for mussels
since my brood is quite near here
~Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.~

and it was still very dark
there was a warning
screech, alarm, I was on it
but everything had been fine
– Rabindranath Tagore
