The birds on our roof are extra loud today.

I hope that's the sound of cheer, not dismay.

.

Are they looking forward to May?

Are they helping us find our way

to a muddy little trail,

to watch the trees,

and the neighbor kid's kite sway.

.

Until the sun fades.

Until the stars are here to stay.

.

Though, the trail isn’t that wide.

If you follow me,

you can only count my stride.

If I follow you,

I can never smooth the lines between your eyes.

.

The birds were extra loud today.

I hoped, that's the sound of cheer, not dismay.
