serious waiting
haiku
osprey pair guarding
female stretches slender wing
male returns with food
osprey pair
osprey pair
one among the twigs of the nest
one on the crossbar high above
unsheltered from driving rain
waiting
stoic, impatient or oblivious of time
for nature’s next step
in their bespoken calling
to bring forth the next generation
