return to my arms

I have been waiting for you
to return to my arms
through autumn leaves
and fallen snow

the birds sing with
the arrival of spring
as I sit and wait

in the distance 
the owls hoot under stars
my heart still clings to hope

  5. Nice metaphor. A hooting owl has got to be a sign of hope.
