As I dance across the meadow,
I hear you call out
As I wade through the stream,
I see you catching trout

Although you may not know me,
I have seen you many a day
As through the fields I go,
Sometimes you watch me play

You sit comfortably
Inside your home
As I sit under a tree,
In my hand a large tome

I read the words aloud to you
Though you may not understand,
And in my voice you hear
The tides ebbing over sand

It makes you nostalgic,
Longing for warmer days,
Evenings spent darting
All through the heavy haze

You steal through the darkness
One with the night,
And I watch one last time,
As you take flight

You’ve kept me company
Through these long years
Now with you I’ll soar,
So dry your tears

Through the air you flit,
Welcoming wings lifting
My soul is free to fly with you,
Simply just existing
