BLACKBIRD

source

You came to me in the dream-time,

smiling with your blackbird eyes,

my lost love, and you asked me

Will you come back?

Yes.

Will you stay?

Yes.

Forever?

Yes.

It is the question I was waiting for,

back then,

the promise you could never make,

with so many other

beautiful birds

in the sky.

But in the dream-time, 

now that we are old

and silver-haired,

in the dream-time

you came back to me,

smiling with your blackbird eyes.
