Rendezvous

flying over Gulf of Mexico, the boundless tranquil emerald water
             not going to stop until I reach my destination ....
  the vision of a beautiful country of my dream - where nature captivates with azure sky and serene lakes,
fascinating ~ where my dearest friends are waiting for me!

                                                                 
                     my friend, Robin, how sweetly she sings at dusk and dawn,
           when there is solitude descending over the mountains ~
        and Oriole busy weaving intricate hanging nests ...
    before the colourful flowers blossom in all their splendour, butterflies passionately kiss ravishing roses ~
trees spread their branches to the sky in ecstasy, lush and green turn grasses ~
                                     I must reach there.


                      I see a distinctive shape in the sky, which tells me...
            my Geese friends are on their way, and also are the high-flier Ducks,
     can’t miss the charming song white-throated Sparrow croons ~                                             My Sweet Canada, Canada, Canada.

                                                      
       Oh! I am so mesmerized  the way Great Blue Heron glides in a slow motion,
    she is the best in fishing, being the most patient.
  Killdeer, Mallard Duck, Red-winged Blackbird -
all welcoming me to join a rendezvous of Spring-birds

        Spring is almost here - nature’s joyful symphony will soon fill the air
        me, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird - will soar across the ocean~

JCB is correct - this is a "majestic" poem Mala. I love the way you frame a journey of migration of the birds with your journey - a journey within a journey. Congratulations on your win. Much love and many blessings!
