A new chirp pulled us out
The direction was clear, the balcony in the North
Tip toe with the phone camera on
Trying to capture the show but it was gone
Our heads swung left and right, for we couldn't afford to lose the sight
What should we see, we had no clue
Only a soft, gentle coo
And then they were in a pair
Hopping the branches they'd share
Their distinct crest, the plumage a drab, red-vented
How fab!
Nature's artwork at its best
No camera could capture the duet
They deserved more than photography
A love filled pair, with no despair
That could stand testing times bonded by heart
Until death do them part
And then a soft tickle ran down our spine
We both knew it was 'Divine'!
