One Single Impression: Invincible







From December 30, 2011

What hunger drives?

The pelican dives 
Deep and direct 
Eyes open wide 

Again and again

It is a game: 

We do not eat to live 
Or live to eat 

But dive deep 
To dive deep 

And come back 
Satisfied.

Hunger drives.

Aren't they amazing creatures? I got to see a large kettle of brown pelicans diving in a feeding frenzy. Amazing and scary too. I like your poem too.

Nature with real meaning.

Sandy, this is a neat explanation of how Mother Nature is working.

Dive deep, hunger drives
dive, born without fear
dive, deep as needed
to make a good catch

I love to watch them do their dives and more often than not they will come up with a fish.

Around here we have the various breeds of herons. My friend was a white heron. You might remember him standing on the bridge rail waiting for his dive:
