Xanthous Yellow (Sapphic Stanza)

I fell in love amid the xanthous yellow as clarions of daffodils awaken in the gently warming winds of April's song to the springtime air. As soft as the breeze she took hold of my hand and led me to places only lovers see, draped in faded charms of cherry tree blossom my heart came alive. In her kiss, a tender moment of rebirth, the empty soul I was stirred into being my transition in her loving embrace a heart’s destiny.
