Gravity

perils
of a nest
built on a slope

The Nest

woven with care
so fledging feet
will remember softness

Marsh In The Rain

the welcome home
as water
receives water

To Be Held

even winter
seeks the comfort
of a nest

Apparition

veiled in a silken web
the ghost appears
before the death

Preparations

eyes as wide
as the sky
pre-flight deliberation

Empty Nest

last year’s nest
holding place
for today’s hopes

On The Nest

winter’s egg
roosting Spring’s
first stirrings

Home Sweet Home

a most charming box
entices inhabitants
to nest and rest

The Watch

nobility
above the nest
on watch for spring stirrings

Everything In Its time

everyone’s fledged
the nest rests
as apples ripen

Inside the Bird Box

phoebe
on her nest
of moss and dryer fluff

Loon’s Nest

as she sits
creation is constructed of
stillness and patience

Provisioning

the clamor for food
an ancient noise
that starts the hunt

Winter’s Nest

filled with snow
a cozy cold
winter’s nest

Revealed

as leaves depart
the hideaway
is made known

Daring

life requires hope
the world
must be trusted

The Look

breath held
drawing strength from stillness
mother eyes the giant intruder

Request

berries frame the empty nest
that rests until spring’s request

Feathered Nest

tossed by the wind
the feathered nest
made of moss and hope
will be built again
