The birds fly in a 'V' formation,

On the move to their next location.

Once again they are heading South

They have found a way out.

Some secret that I am at a loss to sea

So once again they are leaving me.

I long to grow my own wings,

Like I have so often done before in my dreams.

I would soar far and wide, 

As we danced across the evening sky,

But alas, for winter is near,

And the cold cuts through my bones like a sharpened spear.

So, once again I am left behind, as the birds fly farther away,

Leaving the echo of a joyful tune that slowly decays.
