Poem by a Bird

I met your eyes and all the world was blue.

And breaking like the golden rays of dawn,

My steady heartbeat in a moment flew

Completely out of rhythm. 

You listened as deep as the ocean.

You saw as wide as the horizon.

In a barren desert, you were a tree.

You are as strong as the whistling wind of winter

And as welcome as the first warm day of spring.

You wear the wisdom of every song.

I gave you trinkets and a wish.

You gave me my flock and my wings.
