pair of love birds

As the pair of love birds
head back to their nest
My eyes wander across seas
to catch a glimpse of you
and see when you and I
can be together in our nest

You and I live separated
by numerous lands and seas
alone in our own little nests
across artificial boundaries
and a sea of infinite men
bent on dividing this earth

If only we had the wings
to fly over these men
and these artificial drawn lines
that men created on earth
we could have been together
in one nest here or there

We could live together
under this very blue sky
under which we are far
see each other in moonlight
under same stars of night
born by the same earth

We could have then lived
in one of our existing nests
or  create new one elsewhere
migrating along the seasons
to newer pastures each day
breathing a different air

but that was not to be
we are not those birds
that have wings to escape
the lines drawn on earth
and the sea of men that each
guards a different piece of land

This summer is ending now
and swans will again migrate
from the colder regions
to warmer plains, yet you
and I will remain suffering
unlike the pair of swans

How I wish if we could be
swans that stayed together
from now till the end of time
across the lands they cross
across the seas they fly
as one , in unison, in love.
