you see them all the time
silvery birds in skies of blue
carrying temporary occupants
to and from places far and wide
and in those airy travelers thoughts;
appointments and dreams
lovers, families and friends
deadlines to be met
the sooner they are there
the better all will be
I saw my love leave this way
looking towards the future
with anxiety and eagerness
looking at the past
maybe with regret
and seeing the love 
in the present
I look forward seeing her again
to hold her again
to kiss her again
when the wings she had been set upon
brings her back to me
and carrying with her the answer
my heart hopes it will be...
