A Tree Branch

Shake with life in the wild,

within the breeze

of a special invitation.

Pause for a moment and listen

to it swinging high --

that birch limb provides space

for visiting feral feathers

scrambling in night-time hunting.

Upon the broadness of branch

creatures in various sizes continue

seeking refuge and perch proudly

as summer cloaking turns

to wintry baring –

all part of a magnificent plan.
