The Birds of Heartstone
As the geese flew north
The honking cries
Could be heard
In clear Autumn skies
Winter came
Blustery snow fell
During the night
Robin redbreasts and Castle Sparrows
Could be heard
At first light
The King of Air
Fed all the birds at the Castle
During the day,
He took food
Down to the forest
Beautiful as winter can be
Food was spare
The King made sure
No bird, would go hungry
Castle Sparrows
Fluttered here and there
Earning their keep,
by picking up all sorts of things
The Castle was tidy,
as wished by the King of Air
Robins, strutted around
Puffing out their red feathers
Amusing all who took walks
In the castle grounds
Winter began to thaw
The birds of spring
Called out joyously
Birds could be seen
Everywhere
Amongst the fresh green
Birds of every colour
Took to the air
Flew amongst the Whispering Trees
You could hear birds singing
Everywhere
Heartstone Eagles
Circled high
Above a castle
Traversing the mountain
Daily patrols
Watching all of the sky
