Birds mating in midair
fly so high, courting each other
above earth’s space,.

A pair of them meet,
flapping their wings, they join
together - their own rendezvous
against a backdrop of blue sky.

Exhausted, one stops flying.
Both, still locked in their union,
lose altitude, spiral like a plane
crashing down in frenzied speed.

They separate and find a tree to rest.
Again, they rise to fly high.
A chase begins until they meet and join.
The mating circuit starts and stops
over and over.

Often they climb so high
that at night they sleep in the air.

Watching birds mate in midair
is a heart-breaking sight,
but it’s a match made in heaven.

It's sad and lovely at the same time. I enjoyed this much!

Love's a lovely lad
His bringing up is beauty
Who loves him not is mad
For I must pay him duty
