Magpie

Magpie Magpie

Where have you gone

If I follow you

I must run

You pull me in with your sleek long tail

Finding your flash of blue cobalt stripe in the late spring air

Will you wait for me

As I see you are still there

As I watch you

Do you see me

Are there more signs

Then your mere presence ?

What will you show me

Where will we go

New worlds of possibility

If I follow you through

            -Oh hello sweet neighbor, how do you do?

            -I came over to ask the same to you

            - Well I’m debating the possibilities as many of birds in the sky

                       You see this Magpie has called to me,

                                   To follow its fly

            -That sounds nice and well, I wish you the best

                       Where is your magpie,

                                               Your soaring mistress?

            -Well I do believe the opportunity passed

                       My sweet flutter of change has flown out of range

            -My condolences as the fault is my presence

                       your feet next to mine and not in the sky

            -Oh sweet neighbor, I am stuck here with you

                       Stuck very happily too

                       As I see you now as a present of your own

                       With arms just like me, no feathered wings to roam

                       Let us sit here together as you answer my first

                       How do you do I asked you?

            -Apart from a bit guilty for a lost magpies flow

                       I am not well, I came here with a load

            -Well don’t you see its destiny

                       embedded in the magpies flight

                       she caught my attention just enough

                       to see you in clear sight

                       Come inside for a cup of tea

                       We live within the sky

                       And we can fly together

                       Just in being, you and I.
