Lyle de Vitry - To Be Adored

Owl in the tree, you spun your head at me
And locked eyes before you dove through the night
When will you return? I wonder if I've earned
Your respect enough to call you my friend

Time, like a boisterous spring, or a hornet sting
When your sister came and she held you
Time, like a river sleeps, swiftly moving keeps
Your heart steady now. Steady now, steady now

Death, an estuary, not the end to carry
Your body down to nothing at all
What shall I become once my living here is done?
Fuel for roots of all the colors around

Time like a meadow bursting in autumn
Time to tell all your loves that you love them
Time like a roaring coast or a sleeping love
What are these moments for?
To be adored, be adored
