Then suddenly, from all my words of love,
The nest that I had formed from the sky up above,
You took my promise of love and walked away.
It was then and upon that day,
My words of love were broken.
Not another word of you, from my lips was spoken.
And yet I kept hoping, that my love, we would meet again.
Somehow, I had felt through all that pain,
That, when from under my wing you flew,
Oh yes, I knew,
That again I would have you
And then I would pray, that you would say: “I do”.
So, as you flew...Gaspingly, I jumped up from my bed,
Laughingly, I to myself said:
“Gladly, that was only a memory”.
For now she had come back to me.
So then, I sat and began to write,
Once again, of you my poetry had sight.
Once again, I had my inspiration back.
And my poetry of you flowed back upon its track.
As I began, to live again, to stand tall,
As I flourished with love for all,
I had vowed never again to take a fall.
It was then, that next day of sunshine,
That you wore the white wedding gown.
And I, I had covered myself with the beauty of your image.
At this stage,
This time, it was the birds that flew,
And I said: “I do, because I love you”.
And you said: “I too, forever to be true”.
