The Sweet Song of Spring

Love’s soft touch can be felt anytime of the year.

I am quiet now, quiet
Still in the soft hum
That fills the evening air

I close my eyes
And the colors blend
I see yellow and purple hues
They appear a bit hazy
As I sit and wonder,
Sweet angel, who are you?

Yet for a reason I cannot explain
I miss the comfort, of your voice
Miss the ray of hope
The mere thought of you brings

It’s like rivers of cascading divinity
It’s like endless waves
Of rolling diamonds,
Reflecting you infinitely

And, sometimes
It’s like the youthful song of a lonesome lark
The sweet song of spring

I am quiet now, quiet
And my thoughts,
Still drift to you

I’m a thinker
And a dreamer

And suddenly
You’ve captured my heart
Can’t you see?

If only, you truly knew

I’m head over heels
Passionately,

In love with you

    Ya, I can see you,
    Can you see me, pretty girl,
    I’m just behind you..two steps backward,
    I’m sleeping on the flower bud,
    It’s so tender and sweet,
    Wanna visit my small bedroom,
    I show you one day, pretty girl,
    You gotta to love me one day!

    Oh, Ms. Bee is coming,
    I gotta to go with her,
    As there’ll be a ballroom,
    Playing tunes from the morning glory,
    Playing bands from Mr. Owl,
    Parades from Mr.Ant, Mrs Booboo, etc. etc. etc.
    And I’ll flap my wings in front of the Mother God then.
    Hoo..you sweet girl is coming,
    HURRAY!!!

    Completely agree with poetic enigma; couldn’t have stated it more concisely! Except to include my own quote “I wept”.
