First LetterYour eyes openingAs new blooms to welcome dawnRose upon my tears.Gulls cried for joy at sunriseAs I cried to meet again.Reply LetterNightingales must flySilent when the sun looks inTo the nests they know.Will the osprey soaring nowHere return from hunts at sea?
Leaving the cocoon,When does the caterpillarKnow its life has changed?Ponds reflect the cygnet, swan--We look into others' eyes.
