Ruffled Feathers

Castaway

He gets swept ashore
The sun shelters his every path
Not realising the ramifications
He moves on

In search for She
He does not find

Astounded by the lack of interest
His confusion gets him no where
The love of a mate
She drives his heart

Around in a circle he travels

Remembering a once thriving twosome
His despair is unnatural
This isolation too much to handle

He cannot discover She's hiding place

The one and only shelter begins to die out
As the horizon creeps upward

He, the lonesome ostrich waits for his mate, She
