If You’re a Bird

If you’re a bird, I’m a bird.
                          ~The Notebook

If you’re a bird, I’m a bird, wing to wing
as we fly feathers synchronize and sing
a simple melody only two hearts never apart
can hear as under bright morning sun 
we find filigree breezes finely spun,
as if god and angels take delight 
in nature’s orchestrated pavane flight.

We curate sunrise and sing sunset lullabies 
with hearts as free as dancing summer butterflies,
then resting in Luna’s soft midnight tympani,
whose notes may even charm the wetlands garganey*~
sleep easily tonight my love,
tomorrow flies the golden dove,
flying high with our true love.


* Small and unobtrusive, often described as shy, duck of reedy and vegetation-fringed wetlands.
