Birds

I remember when I visited

You were gone all winter

In Florida - for work

And Florida not being my cup of tea

Surprised me

It was a long time ago

You are now old

Not well

Sad longings

I remember the birds

Such a song they sang

Like a posy of flowers

In the air

You were running around

Busy

But you were there

What will I do

When the birds sing like that

Without you being somewhere?
