'Happily hidden amongst the dusk of night,
watching the world chase their dreams.
It’s quieter here.
Calmer.
But quiet can feel unseen.
Always watching, wondering what could be.
Wondering what it might feel like to be understood.
It can feel lonely in this mind,
in this world.
But silent flight means
they won’t see you coming.
These eyes see a powerful soul,
destined for the stars
ready to guide you
from rock bottom
to new worlds.'
By Eleanor Birch
'So rare to see me like this, still and staring.
But here I am, just looking, not caring.
Make the most of it for very soon I shall be gone.
My life not in the spotlight of daytime sun.
I maintain anonymity under the veil of night.
Busy now yet out of sight
My two part call touches your ear.
The only sign that I am here.
No chattering jackdaw or peacock displays,
No flaunting my quiet beauty in the sun's rays.
For this you label me mysterious and wise
A frisson of fear and respect may arise?
Brought to life by this artist in paint and feeling
Let it touch your heart, in seeing beauty there's healing.'
