Come and See
The sparkling spring sun glows across the dew,
Whispering a promise shining anew,
The grass is soft beneath the treading feet,
With summer on its way across the street.
I and my love stroll where sweet silence creeps,
With some sacred secrets veiled in its sleep,
A long journey together we have made
Through wintry cold, light and the greyish shade.
The blowing air turns still, a moment trapped
As if the world holds its breath in its lap,
And then beside the rippling winding stream
I hear a voice calling as in a dream.
“Come and see, a small bud begins to part,”
It`s my love`s voice, from the depth of her heart;
When I approach the meandering stream,
A bloom not seen before, to my eyes gleams.
It seems no artist’s hand can ever trace
The perfect curve of this strange flower`s grace,
A cheerful colour never seen before
That calls for nothing, nor does it wish more.
It blooms lovelier to the sparkling light,
A fragile beacon beaming benign bright;
It`s not a common bloom of garden ground
But a rare perfection that has been found.
Its petals designed as the finest lace,
A shining wonder in this verdant space,
Offer a shared moment, a sight to hold,
A gem more precious than the finest gold.
“I hope our bloom will shine as bright”, I say
To my love, by the beauty blown away,
With mirth she replies: ”come and see next spring,
How will fare the blossom of our offspring.”
