Untold Life
Tiny winged and
And white downed
In deadened straw
Three sleep alone
Three tiny birds
An empty home
Opened hands
Three treasures found
Life’s
Honey nectar
Flowing down
Down to birds
On nestled ground
Bird number one takes to wing
Bird Number two, too wills to go
Never more for one and two
Will Nested straw be a home
The hand, it cradles number three
A bird not able to take to wing
A bird that struggles so to soar
To fly away, away somewhere
But not able to take wing
Earthbound it stays forever more
A Precious Bird never meant to fly
