I went out to the green sunlit hills to melt the freeze crawling through my chest,
and there amidst a sunlit green apple grove, a robin's birdsong drew me toward a nest,
and when, by the trance of the crickets' evening chants, i approached it in my simple stride,
'could you stay a while?' the robin whispered through its eyes.
And then as a half-moon rose on the pristine summer sky, a shooting star streaked with a gleam,
and with a shifting in the shadows in the apple grove below, the spell of magic swelled, and as if a dream,
the robin- it transfigured into a glowing human form- a woman's face, dazzling ear to ear-
'could you stay a while?' i said, but in thin air she disappeared.
And so as the tick of time grates through heavy days, and hollow seasons turn to hollow years,
if someday i should cross her path, up wandering through the hills, or singing peacefully on a sunlit field,
with scarlet joy i'd take her hands and dance and sing and laugh, and sailing high on a summer breeze, cool and clear,
'could you stay a while?' she'd whisper in my ear.
