The first rays of morning sun peeked through my window
Like a small child eager to see into the room
Then stronger, danced on the glass,hurried the shadows away
Rose into the sky, softly touched my face
Whispered the start of a new day
Soft tapping I heard as I stirred from deep sleep
I opened my eyes but still in a daze
Raised my head, looked out at the world beyond
Suddenly something small,there on the sill,focused my gaze
There she was resting, my precious nightingale
Her tiny silhouetted form burst into song
Head raised her soft melody carried on the breeze
Sweet notes gently fluttered over the dew on the grass
Reached up into the tallest trees
Climbed into the heart of the deep blue sky
Carefully, quietly i lifted the window latch, opened it wide
Stepped back, watched as she tilted her head, hesitant, unsure
Back to my pillow, there I lay, breath deep and calm
Fluffing up her feathers she hopped inside
Still talking to me, chirping stories in musical rhyme
Like a destiny set, she would fly every day
I would waken to find her beside me
As an angel she watched over me, delicate and pure
singing to greet me,as I stretched and yawned
Welcoming me from the land of my dreams
But now, so soon, she does not come, icy blasts draw near
Dark days she will circle and dip in different skies
I cannot go, I have no wings to follow
Nor can I keep her here with me
she would not be free to sing
I will walk in the chill of a winter morn
To the sound of my feet on the crisp snow
All the birds will be gone,my mightingale too far away to hear
But the echoes of summer will stir my soul
Till the next time, I know she will return
