Useful Valentine

A smallish bird trying to land
on the top of a tallish tree
in a brisk headwind
dancing up to a standstill
blown back then beating
upwind past the tree then
letting the breeze carry it
back onto the branch
it was trying to reach
in the first place
so elegantly it made
me think of evil
how to use it against itself
so at the last moment
to turns to good
