The Nest

Bark entwines the branches of-
tall eucalyptus tree
Nest was placed with much haste
Now propped so hauntingly

Baby bird has disappeared
Egg shells-left other pinch
Though tweeting can be heard close by
Perhaps a baby finch.

Amazing such a special home
Has captured me to pause
Inspired by the work made from
Little beak and claws.

Empty nest-such a shame
For crafted loving care,
A new beginning for the bird
Left inhabitance vain bare.

The bird is labelled brainless
I voice Intelligent
To nurture young to have them sprung
To bring sheer sentiment

The aves continue cycle
Freedom, love to nest
Astonished by the workbirdzip
Animals at best.
