Forlorn Endeavour
Rhythms feeding, rising feathers
wind enticing, leaping into his hands
rather came to perch a place
she arrives to build, a new life
Whether her beak is a scarlet
or filled with juicy seeds
awakening the mornings
with chirpy deeds
learning from her shyness
he never want her to flew even
without the consent of alluring white petals
he granted permission to joy the hope
gathering the tiny feathers and twines
rendering woolen ball with a doorway
awaiting the sweet hatching cries
mourns out of your pearl shell
now the tree is mourning, nest is hanging
never seen her this way even
a small rain can restrain
the hopes once given, turning sweetness
to a flaming honey, trembling loneliness
