Sudden Change

Suddenly the lily opened Its chalice like petals Amazed by such delight Her beauty lightened My heart to enchantment Her perfume lifts my spirit And I'm in spring. Suddenly a song rises From the depth of my soul My fingers touch the keys Upon the piano And begin to translate The sudden joy it berates. And I'm in spring. Suddenly my sadness melts Away with the lily Away with the song that dwells Now in the heart Touched by sudden beauty And I'm in spring. By CarolineCecile Copyright © 04.20.10
