A subtle sway like mother's arms,
a tight and tender grasp
like father's arms;
these branches contain
the love of both, even
a lullaby can be heard
when spring winds dance
with luminous leaves
and soft coral blossoms.
Triplets sit, oblivious,
encased in brown speckled shells,
carefully placed among
woven twigs and silken feathers.
Today they will remain, shielded,
high above a thawed ground and
far below a warming sky...
Today; they will remain.

You already know how I feel about your writing, but I had to stress how much I love this:
"these branches contain
the love of both, even
a lullaby can be heard
when spring winds dance"
Your words have such beauty and assurance and they are life affirming.
