Erasing the Black

Twittering squeaks, the Swallow calls Harboring inside these darkened walls High in the loft, of the barn where she rests Calling her mate to come back to the nest Majestic beauty come to me once more Together we'll spread our wings and soar Singing our song with the rise of the sun Perfect harmony between two loved ones Memories of flights over fields of green I was your knight, you were my queen Flitting and fluttering we were in love No longer swallows, we were now doves Hearing his calls, her mate has come back Her day's been brightened, erasing her black
