sunrise or sunset?
conference of birds
or diverse gathering?
early morning gathering
or is it an evening stroll
on frozen ice
for a refreshing dip
and chill-out time?
no quarrelling,
some flapping and fluttering
acrobatic posing
skating on thin ice
just sharing of space
from a safe distance of the ‘stranger’
a congregating of same.
is it fear of the ‘other’?
the need for security?
or not daring
to step out of comfort zone?
life together in a diverse community
is like
walking on ice…as the sun rises…
