Memories and Visions
Spring's Kiss
Farewell sweet days cavorting in the grass
When passion flowed inside of youthful veins
I step aside to let the seasons pass
For life must falter when the winter reigns.
Each year the earthly cycle starts anew
With leaves unfurling at the break of day
To sip of sunshine and of morning dew
While peach trees bloom in sweetest disarray.
A bee's soft buzzing fills the scented air
Enmeshed with early birdsong of the wren,
But cold has gripped this aged flesh and hair
And spring will not reside in me again.
Though gladly I will sit to reminisce
And taste once more the memory of spring's kiss.
From my book "Across the Miles and Years"
When passion flowed inside of youthful veins
I step aside to let the seasons pass
For life must falter when the winter reigns.
Each year the earthly cycle starts anew
With leaves unfurling at the break of day
To sip of sunshine and of morning dew
While peach trees bloom in sweetest disarray.
A bee's soft buzzing fills the scented air
Enmeshed with early birdsong of the wren,
But cold has gripped this aged flesh and hair
And spring will not reside in me again.
Though gladly I will sit to reminisce
And taste once more the memory of spring's kiss.
From my book "Across the Miles and Years"
