Uncertainty
(haiku)


Resting or waiting?
Salient blue amidst the greens --
I wonder, where're you?

Flutters.





'Nature' is not all about grass and flowers, but animals too. The bird was what which caught my eye, it sits in the center of the picture -- center of attraction, standing out from amidst the greenery.

At first, when I stumbled upon the bird, I was afraid I would not be able to take a picture of it in time. However, the bird stay perched on the tree branch until I left. It kept looking around, as though it was searching for something. In certain ways, its behaviour was similar to Man. It reminded me of Man, who is always in search of something; in search of knowledge of his environment; in search of answers to questions to satisfy his curiosity; in search of what deem as beyond his limits, his boundaries.Unfortunately, the bird appears to be resting too. Like humans, taking a break from their long and hectic lifestyle, needing to stop and breathe at times.

It takes off, back to whatever it was doing, bearing an uncanny resemblance to humans -- Man resumes his life.
