Bird Feeder
built for a greater purpose
offering age old seeds for free
an oasis between branches
positioned for all to see
flocks congregate and listen
singing with hunger and fear
they gather up a healthy harvest
then scatter away with cheer
filled to serve all year long
never struggles or complains
bravely emptying their vessel clear
an endless source remains
soon their birds will migrate home
a perilous path my friend
signposts that help along the way
giving to the end
