WINGS - BIRDY

THE WINGS OF SUMMER DAYS

The wings of Summer days
fly so high and white
above the clouds of all desire
that part within and wait for you
the feathers softly holding
all our dreams together
interwoven like our lives
since before we even knew
that we had been so close
for all this time
through childhood days
and inbetween
the cracks we slipped
and fell between and cracked
our shins in childish games
where fast bowls; wickets
and to and fro runs
exhausted us
and stained our whites
with grass so green
our clothes too big
and hand-me-downs
with shoes that made
our feet like clowns
our laughs and cries
our lows and highs
returning now
to the missed sighs
of how we used to live our lives
side by side
like conjoined twins
so close and yet so far between
our eyes scarce met
but once upon
a time when I was with
a boy of mine
I think his name was much the same as yours
he emigrated to Australia
but I never heard from him
and then we found each other
though we were never hidden
and from the start
we acted like it was forbidden
why did we do that I question now
it made it more exciting
fraught with difficulties somehow
and we had both experienced this
so maybe we thought
this was how it was
but everywhere we went
we were found
and how we laughed
and loved the frowns
It was after all part of the fun
our joint adventure had then begun
Such a shame it didn't last
but that's the trouble with the past
it catches up with us all somehow
but we made memories and they're still here
burned in my mind with many a tear
but mostly joy and wondrous
illustrious stories that were a part of us.
