Relaxing here in solitary
Looking out towards my left
I see the old Geelong Cement silo’s
At the top end of Autumn street
Three kilometres away
As the crow flies
The crow, flies outside my window
Below he hovers, above Autumn street
Ironically the street where we lived
For our entire thirty-eight years together
I’m nostalgic about every year
Reminiscing, and yes, I’m full of tears
Tears of liquid joy
Joy of togetherness, for so many years
And our old crow was always there
Perched in our lemon tree
Every morning the crow would sing tō us
Sing his ancient tunes
His tunes of memories and rhymes

The Crow has a strong significance with me every morning I greet them as they perch on the house. You were very lucky to share so much love.
