When Peace Comes: Over the webcam
When a webcam broadcasts
the hummingbird's zips and chirps,
it's trained on a bald eagle's nest
A great hunter broods two eggs
in a disorderly nest of twigs
surrounded by a scatter of bones—
rabbits, salmon, squirrels—
prey many times bigger
than eagle's leaf-sized visitor
This fearless little hummers zooms in,
hovers a while with sharp-eyed eagle,
blasts off again
A giant with a little one
exemplifies the saying,
The meek shall inherit the earth
The universe sends a message
about how to live in peace on earth
