Searching the trees
Following
That once familiar call
Still hiding alone
Waiting for warmth
Scanning
The distance perched
Higher overhead
A feathered friend
Cold wind ruffles
Waving long lashes
And urgent cries
Conserving energy
Watchful
Short long swoops
Between branches
Waiting for the warmth
Promising
Each breath of spring
When you sing
Stepping closer
Welcoming
You to come nearer
Nestle up next to me
Sharing our perch
Building
Straw by straw
The nest is our futures
Where are you now
Alone
Finding your way
Still coming together
Follow my song
Welcome
You back again and again
My Lover ! My friend !
