Expanded Nesting

The nest so carefully built

And tended with love, devotion

For the needs of another

For the dreams of a mother

Does not become empty

with baby birds flight

No, The nest so carefully built

And tended with love, devotion

Holds a new egg now

To love, to tend, to devote

For the needs of a mother

For the new dreams

of her otherhood—

Expanded nesting

of motherhood

The nest so carefully built

And tended with love, devotion

Expands intuitively out in

Tendrils of possibility

Swirls of creative power

Non-linear lines of divine purpose

In Expanded nesting

Of motherhood—

roosting, releasing, re-creating

And as needed,

Permission to fly free!
