Flyway

A flock across my window

Gone when I look around

Until the sun gets longer

They're getting out of town

Where on earth in the world

Do they go?

Do their feathers freeze stiff

In the snow?

How should I know?

But I can bet you they'll come

Back to the same old tree

Since I was crawling they've been

Watching over me

In the gardens

That ripple in the water

Climbing higher up

Where nobody sees

Look at the sky and spot the green

And I heard that they weren't

Meant to stay

Anywhere the air chokes

Or they get

On the flyway

So ride the rising currents

I trust that I will see you again

When I pick up the courage

I hope that I can join you someday
