Feather beauty bright
I spy, a feather beauty bright
With speckled breast a blush
Basking in the thicket
Light on her little branch above
A sight beholding
Fluttering, amid the snowy bramble bush
She bathes with warmth
In the glory of the newest morning sun
Its halo crest begins with brilliance
That's quick to swallow you up
As newer feather flusters fly
Gingerly dappled, scrambling about
Bringing further...
Merrily delights of whimsy fun
Threading in joyous song through your briar
Flocks a scurry right back out
These weaving spectacles, teasing faeries
Crisscrossing in musical flight
You are the daring little one, bursting forth...
With operatic songs, startle and scold the spry
Feather beauty bravely upon your perch
With boldness and a new found might
Chase those impish finch and thrush
Out into the impeding midday light
Now you bask once more...
This time among drops of melting snow
And gathering all your fill
Feasting where the wild berries grow
But, in the end like the others
Soon my feather fairy friend you must also go
So then, twittering onto leafy stem
And off, into the yonder of the coming spring to rove
