Forever Man

As I love nature, as I love singing birds ... I love thee, my friend. - Thoreau

where hills wave and trees crouch to beckon

where sometimes i know and other times i reckon

i remember you yesterday

i recollect you today

not sure if i'll know you tomorrow

beg, steal or borrow

living on a broken heart's credit to pay longing sorrow

not sure what to say

as faith lends a weary ear to yet another lonely day

come to me my chatty sweet 

draw nigh my loquacious darling

return back to me oh iridescent, confectionate starling

croon me a verse

let me listen as you rehearse

just sing me a word

oh gregarious, old world songbird

let me join your band

make me a

forever man

Author's Note

"It would be well, perhaps, if we were to spend more of our days and nights without any obstruction between us and the celestial bodies, if the poet did not speak so much from under a roof, or the saint dwell there so long. Birds do not sing in caves, nor do doves cherish their innocence in dovecots." - Thoreau

Penned with passion and romance. You have a natural talent. Title is inspiring and inspired. You are coming up with miracles.
