Tending your nest



 I struggle with what to say, while I keep demons at bay.  So I watch & listen for the new day’s dew to glisten.

This morning as the mockingbird sings, one of my favorite sounds to my ears it brings.

She is strong & swift in her defense, I’ve watched her closely she mocks in perfect sense.

You watch this time & notice her ploy, she builds more than one nest, her enemies her toy.

I’ve seen this before, she mocks in tone & action, all in an effort to her adversaries a distraction.

The osprey can not bluff with their cards.  Their nests so big & set on high, only defense is to set constant guards.

The vultures, crows & raven will land & have their fill of yet to be or new born hatches, the nest now barren as  new life the evil snatches.

The osprey stand guard on the nest & take turns to hunt, always close with a  graceful diving stunt.

These are just two of natures winged wonders, all my life I’ve wondered what in flight a bird ponders.

Flying high, screeching & singing their mystical tune, protecting their young who will be flying soon.

I close my eyes & say a prayer of thanks for bringing me to this place, to share with the birds in flightless space.

You see when I face the evil’s of today…I listen to my mind, body, heart, soul & spirit…& it tells me what those birds just might have to say.

Sing your tune, tend your nest, fly on high, defend your young & a new day’s song will always be sung. ✨✝️🕊️

Job 39…Psalm 124…Psalm 25…AMEN
