Nest

Dear beloved,
come let us gather green grass
soft and lush
to build our nest.

For I long for those quiet summer nights
with no bright lights and piercing horns
night so quiet that I hear your beat
and you hear mine.

For I long for your quiet glance,
and innocent stare
following my every flutter
with so much love and care.

For I long for sitting together
on a branch
with the turmoil of stillness
and comfort of closeness.

For I long to be together
in one nest
with the grass so green
and the grass so lush.
