The Game Is On
The expectation of letting go
Letting it in. Breathing, and 1, 2,
3. It consumes you within.
Tally the points,
Mark the score and in the end
receive your badge of honor. Your
trophy in need of context.
A shiny jewel to build your nest with- to
keep the chickadees warm.
Tweet tweet tweet
They twitter on back and forth,
At the end of winter, you rise forth towards the-
luring warmth of day
Only to forage once again.
A shiny jewel to build your nest with- to
hide away underneath the layers of
gold, that shines brightly in the shimmer of the day
but fades in the face of the moonless night.
With no light to shine,
No score to keep
The bird tweets on, to see
who still keeps.
