At the edge
Eagerly, she waited
To flap out her wings
To fly over the mountain ledge
To fly over the mountain ledge
On a broken window sill
Listening, she sat
To the sounds of worthy prey
To swoop down on her kill
Over the tree tops
Elegantly, she flew
To where the winds took her
To move on till her heart stops
On a brambled bush
Momentarily, she perched
To feel the cool breeze
To lift up with a l’il jerky push
To lift up with a l’il jerky push
Deep in the woods
Her soulmate, she found
To love she surrendered
To rise high above earthly goods
Inside the nest
Together, they built
To hold on to one another
To dream of the very best
Come spring
The flowers bloom
She cuddles her babies
Beneath her feathered wing
Beneath her feathered wing
The time has come
They are ready to fly
She heaves a heavy sigh
Knowing she has to let go of some
It’s a beautiful scene
As they embrace
Eager to fly out
It’s a wonder
What such love could mean
And now she waits
Looking out into the deep blue sky
To start life anew
Even though she had to part with a few!
