To see a worm so far away
You shift your wing, you don't say a word
You knew just where the earthworm lay
Like melting snow, you have your way
No predator will watch your perch
I see you looking at the sky
It aids my sigh, it ends my search
Like birds, I watch your every movement
That climbs inside my heart's desire
But now, I find desire imbues it
My heart is stuck like birds on wire
How can these words reveal the season?
New leaves unfold in every breath
On grass I lay, could find no reason
Desire your touch or fear of death
I love your smile when you show it
Your fingers in my hand
When we fly like this, you know it
I love the bed on which we land
You got sharper eyes than me, old bird To see a worm so far away You shift your wing, you don't say a word You knew just where the earthworm lay Like melting snow, you have your way No predator will watch your perch I see you looking at the sky It aids my sigh, it ends my search Like birds, I watch your every movement That climbs inside my heart's desire But now, I find desire imbues it My heart is stuck like birds on wire How can these words reveal the season? New leaves unfold in every breath On grass I lay, could find no reason Desire your touch or fear of death I love your smile when you show it Your fingers in my hand When we fly like this, you know it I love the bed on which we land Explain Request ×
