Soul connection

I’m not sure why you chose to stand 

So close to me that morning. 

Was it just because you thought there might be 

A French fry in my car that I might share? 

Or did you bring a message, 

Garnered in mid-flight — 

Something you saw or heard 

And thought I’d need to know? 

Whatever your reasoning, it meant a lot 

That you took the time to engage with me; 

To stand so close I could see the color in your beak, 

The delicate pattern in your wings, 

And feel the connection of our souls…
