SPIRITS













They call to me

As only Winter knows

They call to me

Answers Within








SultryRose's Signatures







Well, I was born Aquarius
Winter child of air and sky
On a North Alantic Island
Where the sea birds wheel and cry



Now years have flown, too many
So I come again today
To say goodbye to both of them
Before I go away



Well the day is softly beautiful
Blue skies are up above
As I stand here with my family
Encircled with their love



Awed, I see the sun kiss water
Where small wavelets start to dance
And the singing spray reminds me
Of a storybook romance



I see azure blue of heaven
Caress the ice green of the sea
And I hear the ocean whisper
Come and see the world with me



The wild birds flying in the blue
They dip, they swoop, they cry
In communication sacred
Between just them and I.



I can feel the awesome power
In those God has given wings
As they glide on wild air currents
I hear my heart, it sings



I scatter food I've brought for them
Those congregating here
On white wings tipped with ebon
They come from everywhere



It's as if I were a singer
Just to make my joy complete
They glide down soft and silent
An audience at my feet



How my lonely soul cries out to them
A haunting needful cry
Please, please take me with you
My wings are strong, lets fly



Yes, spread your wings and fly away
We'll leave the earth behind
Go frolic on the milky way
See these places in my mind



Winter Birds cry... you're not ready
You still have so much to do
Like the twitching of an eyebrow
They were gone back in the blue



Almost before I knew it
They had vanished from my sight
And I felt a sadnesss in my soul
For I envyed them their flight



Winter sea grew softly quiet
Like the fairys stopped their play
As I slowly turnd back homeward
In tears I sadly walked away



But ,if the years pass kindly
Inside there'll always be
That special moment with the birds
When they shared their world with me



And... perhaps it still could happen
That I'll get another chance
To go back to that old seaside
There to... watch the sea birds dance
