Jay

A jay sat on the window ledge
Of the building opposite mine
She sang aloud in good range
Sounding astoundingly fine
Her wordless song I heard in dreams 
Minutes before awakening
That melody was blazed in beams
I cannot be mistaken in
That it was you, who came along
To sing a song for me
To reassure I’m not alone
And you are here to see
How I’ll be doing through the day 
Another day that goes
Without you, my singing jay
With song that needs no words
