Nestling

And suffer the risk - abscond in dread - The knowledge of sort that you'll be dead Upon a calamitous fall; Or taken in flight - a hawkish pounce - Demolished as prey; your fate pronounce You gone, and to never recall. O when to summon the sky Little nestling? When to summon the sky? Aborting a den with Feathered bed, Unwavering mother who Saw you fed - Surrendering all so You may spread Your reach of tentative wings! ‘Tis only instinct - E'er the reason - Forging life: The Nesting Season And the trials it brings. So up and summon the sky Little nestling, Up! and summon the sky!
