A Warmth I Wish Were Palpable

Intently watch, as its heart beats- instinct seeps- my heart perceives; I act upon this alone- no matter of what intellect believes. Its destiny left up to me- to care for it- or set it free; circulatory warmth takes over me. But then a moment so magical- simple beauty- not meant to be made practical. Another animal, one so affable- lengths of compassion I wish were graspable; relief; a warmth I wish were palpable. A bird takes upon this little one as its own, spotting from a distance- this baby not yet grown; in much need of a new found home. Sun beams-streaking west- pressure lifted off my chest; as I find this little one, a bird feeder, I now create a nest- mama bird watches over, the little one may now lay its head to rest.

Great poem :) The only thing I would change is the last line to "mama bird watches over, and the little one now rests." But the entire poem is still really good. :) Nice choice of words and clever rhymes. You followed a train of thought well.
