From a Willow, To a Swallow

Oh, where?
Where did you go?
Here no more
Like wind, you came and gone

Your graceful wings
Oh, how I miss you
Your heavenly sings
Why can’t I keep you?

Are my branches
Too thin and brittle?
Are my leaves
Too few to shelter?

Falling you fear
You seek stronger branches
Cold you fear
You prefer bountiful leaves

Yet, I’ll survive
And I’ll be wiser
Grow stronger with time
From the loneliness I bear

If you again need me
Fly back to me to stay
For you I’ll be here
Until time fades away
