Such a great sadness,
and it comes daily,
I sit and stare out the window
and wish I could explain
to the creatures I see, how safe
they would be with me.
Such sadness in my inability
to reach out and let them
crawl, flutter, and curl up
in the palm of my hands.
You are safe here, you are
safe here, I whisper over
and again, and sometimes,
they look up, sit in perfect
stillness, and for half a moment
seem to understand.
