As The Sun Sets Poem by Doris Cornago

Minds lock, focused on a wish
Breeze comes as the sun sets
Carrying you to my open patio
Resplendent in silver, not a quiver

You stretch out your wings for me
And I climb up not looking downward
Gingerly circle your neck with my legs
And my arms, feeling your chest throb

You carry me slowly across treetops
Feathers warm my face, filter the wind
You are precise as you brace for the spot
Your legs uncurl like the wheels on a plane
Perfect landing spot to pass the cool night
