As I walked
along a wooded stream
whose ripples rock
the baby bass to sleep,
there floated before my blue-tint eyes
a feather blue
through bluer skies.
And as my view
its airy path did trail,
I saw a sight
that drained my cheeks to pale,
for in the branches
among leaves of Spring,
lay a mother bluebird
silent---
with broken wing.
And just beneath her,
a limb or two,
was her nest
with babies new.
And as her eyes their last sights glimpsed--
the sky above which gave her song,
the branch below which was her home,
another feather
from her fell,
past her babies in circle's weave
to the stream by shadows cooled,
where baby fish quietly sleep
'midst ripples' rocking spell.

sheesh, this one brought a sigh and a tear
*sigh*
beautifully written, soft, with a tender touch

I'm a sucker for a nature write, especially anything with wings and feathers
