I Watch You Rise

In the golden rays of early morning
I watch you rise, kicking to the sky
Off to dazzle elsewhere
Exchanging notes in the distance

Acutely aware of my limitations
I watch you rise to the treetops
The feeder spinning, soon abandoned
The swelling buds soon to cover

Rest now and garner strength
After the long winter struggle
Ready for the gathering in
Hungry mouths to fill again
