Empty Nest
the empty nest hangs
on the brick wall held
useless in cool shade
mud and sticks – life’s blood
swirling motionless
defies gravity
once a cradling refuge
the vacant nest abandoned
now covered in spider’s web
sticky silky threads suspend
dead fragments trapped
floating time
reaching up I stretch
spreading weary wings
clearing bleary eyes
leaving emptiness
heart filled to the brim
with sun’s golden breath
struggle - launching – push
catching wind to sail
free – released to fly
Thank you for reading,
