Crane Rescue


Crane Ascending
by Genevie Henderson


 Crane Rescue


One thousand orphaned children cling to her wings


Full Moon pulls 

them to rocky cradles


One thousand tiny victims of war hide in her feathers


Full Moon pulls them 

into a nightlight glow


Far from the earth

Saved babies sleep in peace.
