The sun shines warmly now, and deep inside my heart
The glowing intensity of heat trickles further to my soul
Where once lived loneliness and despair
You, my dear, have planted a seed insidiously within me and
With all your wisdom, you have turned a bleak and barren spot
Into a heart which brims full of joy and gaiety and a
Once lame and lethargic step is now a skip of happiness
My dull eyes are seeing life in a new and brilliant light
Bringing out their blueness, wide in anticipation of a new world
They are taking in this fresh reality
And I am grasping the experience with both hands
A soft blanket holds me with a new purpose in life as
My listlessness has been transformed to a passion I have rarely felt
As dawn breaks and before the earliest of birds
I lift my head from downy pillow and wipe away the remnants of sleep
The wonder of nature peers in at me through my open window
A gentle breeze transports the exquisite fragrance of wisteria
That lazily creeps the creamy stone wall outside
Bunches of delectable flower heads that eventually reach my sill
Inviting a host of bees to their centres, in their quest to consume the sweetness
I am in awe of the beauty on display, my senses are dizzy because
You, in your faultless manner, have guided me to this new plateau
And I wish to thank you sincerely my darling
I will pursue this path excitedly and without trepidation
Wherever I journey in this magical world of ours,
I will always come home to you…………
