The Birds Of Heaven Poem by Brian Routh

I was asleep
the birds came to sing me from my dreams
they sang a song from you
it sang into my heart
oh my love how I miss you in the depths of me
where are you I cry?
the birds gather in strength and watch me with tears in their eyes
they they know the the joy in my heart
they know the pain I suffer without you
the blackbird sing his mournful lament
as he watches me through my window
he knows that my heart aches for you
his melody is haunting and carries off to a canyon of dreams
where your echoes call me from everywhere
where are you my darling my heart cries out
it is a the half light before dawn
and the dawn chorus explodes through me
it stirs my soul
where are you my love?
everywhere I look there you are
and yet you elude me
your hand is always in mine
your lips always touch me
and yet where are you my love?
I am filled with your majesty
and your spirit
Oh my darling I long for you
my whispers sing out to you
your laughter like bells rings out through me
oh my darling where are you?
the nightingale sings to me
she tells me your love also cries out for me
she sings your song of longing
your song of great love for me
I am moved deeply by your message to me
oh my love where are you?
I am your lifelong love
I am in your blood
that flows into my veins
oh my love you are here at last inside of me
oh my darling we are together now
we sigh a sigh that says it all
my love I am your now.
