Endless Love

Will you leave our nest
in the spring
hearts intertwined 
to sing
flying back 
to the north 
cause you're strong
defiantly survive
on your own?
Midday shadow
black veil 
of dawn
rose fragrance
perspiring 
through thorns
in the north
will you shiver alone
yet another in your nest
will find home
love debt in time
will melt
to an endless sea 
of regrets
with wailing
returning to sand
to an empty nest 
your heart 
never left.
A whisper 
as from living dead
by ear of the heart
only heard:
smile to me
don't be sad.

Indeed, our hearts, even though they "shiver" in the cold on our journey, never leave home - the nest. Such strong images and wonderful flow! Congratulations on your win! Blessings.
