cardinal virtue

[fledgist]

 a single bird may signal change or not
we wait a long time just to see it fly
a simple touch of pleasure passing by

years may return at slower pace than trot
and when they do we never think of why
a single bird may signal change or not

there comes the moment when we pay our scot
such is the task that comes beneath your eye
an obvious matter under such a sky
a single bird may signal change or not
