TENDED NEST


I am losing my sense of play
You are helping me reclaim it
You are helping me lay down my arms
And welcome the previously unwelcome
You are wise
My lady owl
And I have much to learn
We are shape shifters and partners in crime
And I am not running from you
And you are not running from me
I am red and you are green
You are ancient
And younger than you think or seem
You can grow
And you can shrink
On command
You just might fill or break
Any dam in your way
On a path made by a glacier's weight
And your feet are covered in water

You will leave and I will stay
And hold the fort
You'll return and it will stay fresh
The tended nest

I am losing my sense of play
And you are helping me reclaim it
You are wise
My lady owl
And I have much to learn
