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…
