Chance Encounter

Here in the garden, raindrops are falling scents of springtime fill me with wonder then I do see you, under the arbor you look up as I pass by. Your eyes they hold me, lovely and tender here my heart stirs, with hidden passions I smile shyly, you offer flowers we sit and watch the rain. We share together, as if we're not strangers with an ease so free for our hearts meld truly together I with you and you with me. Time passes slowly, raindrops stop falling sunlight fills our eyes with devotion your face is lovely, I cannot leave you you’re the one I'm looking for. Even then, I'd be lost without you restless as the sea stay with me, for you are a treasure more than life could ever be. Here in our garden, through many springtimes even now, our hearts are filled with wonder that chance encounter, under the arbor we found our love, so free. Written on 2/8/2018

Just beautiful Laura! I do like that you took the more romantic line. This piece spoke to me in a more minor chord. Congratulations on your placement!!! ~Judy

Ah, Silent...you are too kind! My words here are simple, but the song begged for simplicity. Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging words :)
