Like peach blossoms
As lovely as daffodils

In the purest hope of spring

My heart-strings follow each strum of a harp

Your voice a hypnotic melody.

I leap like a cricket

At the whisper of your name

The evening floats

On a great parrot wing.

I am comforted

With you by my side

I hold you tight

Like two twilight beams across the sky.

In the listless evening

I listen for the last chime of the day

I lie with you

In lavender moonlight.
