A Bird in the Hand

We loved this place, you and I.
It was special,
Romantic,
Full of love and promises for the future.
Every year we returned
To savour, envelope, give thanks,
And reminisce.
This year I come alone,
But a bird alights on my hand,
Touches my fingers gently,
A caress rather than peck,
And I remember.
We promised each other a sign
Should we be separated.
Not knowing what,
Not knowing when,
But we would know.
You are free on the wind,
Your spirit soars in the sky
But you came to me.
I am not alone,
And know I am blessed,
And loved from beyond.
