Yeats’s Falcon

Will Yeats’s falcon stay?

Or will he fly away

Leaving mankind behind

As our sun goes down

And civilisation is drowned

In endless night?

I think he may

Have long since taken flight.

      Thank you for commenting Liz. For some reason the idea for the poem came to me earlier today as I sat in the hospital garden listening to the fountain. It was so peaceful, then for some unknown reason the poem popped into my head. I’m pleased you like it.
