You are with me, but temporary, yet you are ever near:
pure birdsong, poured affectionately, into my eager ear.
A sound spontaneous in its love, a gurgle soft but clear,
so natural, such glee in me, to share a whisper sheer.
A spark of sun that brightly rises to the waiting dawn,
briskly in bounce to noon and then slides that in frenzy fawn
their filigree to twilight’s taint and to night's darker gloom …
You are to me a theme of change, a tone in shifting tune:
Deep melancholy, woven voice into heart's happy hue;
still murmurs in dawn’s early croon, answer to holy cue.
The fretwork of a tumbling finch, dove’s dive in loop of lull,
I set you free, a seagull’s glide, with wingspan stretched to full.
But ever in my lonely soul a mirrored hymn is born,
pitched passion’s poem, returns to Morn, to leave a dream forlorn.
I am your everlasting spring, you bird's migrating song,
eventually: Love's symphony ... when time and tome are gone.

So touching ...
is your poem and how appealing the meaning to me. I loved how you took this poem to flight and then went on to show much hope by your last line
so carefully constructed. Thanks for sharing,

Oh, such a wonderful though of love migrating - emigrating - being gone when another season approaches, i am surprised, thinking about ti now, that this idea has not arisen before, or at least certainly i have not read it in such a manner before. Lovely rhymes in here also, I enjoyed reading this one

Amazing. Flows great. Love the content. The picture fits so well with "I set you free, a seagull’s glide, with wingspan stretched to full." and "But ever in my lonely soul a mirrored hymn is born" even tho its not a seagull. Btw, I wrote a new haiku, come by for a look =)
