Sidney Beck Poet Couplet

Together

TOGETHER


Saw two birds flying together: 

One would swing left and the other 

Would instantly swing to the left

With wing movements quick and deft;

Then the other would swoop  low

And the partner would also.

Who to follow  and  who to lead -

From such decisions they were freed.

What seemed  important  was simply whether

They were happy to be together.
