magpie

[eropunkish]

sweet little magpie
flits across the trees
something shiny sparks her eye
a glimmer in the breeze

upon a bough this songbird sits
so quietly entranced
by the mystery of this bright gleam
garnering her glance

so handsome, yet so deep
the light shines from within
it pulls the magpie closer
the slow descent begins

will this sudden attraction
be much different from the rest?
will it make itself at home
within her heart and nest?

this songbird owns no answers
she knows only how to fly
alone and free and in control
but...she can always try
