What a lovely scene.
HOME
Sometime, somehow, this heart
must learn to stop on some sill.
Flitting, it will not find its perch,
like the migrant wood trush,
flying from branch to branch—
nowhere as happy as the fawn
nuzzling its mother’s neck
at the edge of the woods where
home is. Will this heart soon
find its dawn, its perch, its home?
