The Albatross

This oldest nesting seabird

is the most regal among all.

Symbol of purity and perfection,

It is the most faithful of all.

Emblem of luck, success, and true love,

They hold honor and dignity upright.

Tapping and dancing to the rhythms of nature,

They are the keeper of lost sailors' lives.

Navigating all through the tough waters of sea and life,

True love is alone for what they strive.

Inhabiting the remote island of

Galapagos,

For the divine search of their lifelong lover.

Hovering from one corner to another,

Dancing in groups to find their forever mate.

The wind is cold and sharp,

The sky is cloudy and overcast,

The magical moment strikes,

When the male albatross sees his female one,

And falls in love so deep.

This connection is instant and forever,

When they start rising together.

These lifelong partners celebrate and marry on the dance floor,

with every dance step filled with grace and love sheer.

Booked for a lifetime,

The most loyal pair stay together

forever,

nothing can separate them,

even one of them dies,

the other waits for lifetimes.

No lesser than a God-send magical messenger,

Healing wounds and broken hearts,

Filling life with sense and sensibility.

Most committed lovebirds in the kingdom of earth.

Taking long to pick up a forever mate,

They are bearers of true love and fidelity.
