Flighty Bird

Flighty Bird, so precious true

hath made her nest, within my heart

And seared her touch upon my lips

In light, all mortal cares depart.

But time hath shown for toying sake

Her nest doth flounder in it's place

She's taken fight to seek once more

And left her pieces - empty grace

She, Flighty Bird, so precious true

now settles elsewhere for a while

Like dew, there once then gone to air

Her game - flirt fraught with playful flare!
