My Love Flies Swiftly

My love flies swiftly over mountains and streams
searching for you,
swirling around you,
embracing you with invisible arms,
my arms...
which ache for you
my lips...
which long for you
my heart...
which swells at the very thought of you.

My love flies swiftly over mountains and streams, its scarlet feathers piercing brilliant blue sky,
catching an updraft with its escort the hawk, who loosens its talons' grip softly,
gently dropping my love
into your day.
