Black Cockatoo

There you sit majestically

Content in our she-oak tree

A black cockatoo…

So stoic, so serene, so free

You have this air about you

One of an honoured kind

Blessed are the ones of us

That seek beyond the mind

I wonder what you’re thinking

In your immaculate depth

I observe for explanations

And answers beyond your breadth

One thing I see and know for sure

Within your ebony wings of whole

The spirit of the black cockatoo

Lives within the knowing soul
