Twisting bare branches reach
scarlet robins tick defiant,
challenging rivals, one end each
of the winter wood, both uncompliant.

Drama played out each day
unlooked for, unseen,
survival, snatching dead where they lay,
crows, undertaking, in soft black sheen.

Something identifies natures creatures,
they move, fly, swim, with a secret,
identify it, fit the last piece to glowing treasures,
find a soul never to forget.


Desire for nothing except desirelessness,hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes, want nothing and you will have everything.avatar Meher Baba.

Very nice work.
