Nest

Nest It's tough to imagine The chair where you sit Vacant and cold Where we used to chit And chat in the shallows; Dive deep in the world Where ideas, memories And hopes were unfurled It's hard to imagine As lives drift apart That I've given you all that I have In my heart And still ask myself Is it enough? For wisdom, discernment When your world starts to get tough It's great to imagine That time when you're home Will be even more precious Than the times that we've known But for now, while your here Though the salty tear stings I rejoice in your freedom In the spreading of wings.
