In Simple Wonderment She Came To Me

In Simple Wonderment She Came To Me

In simple wonderment she came to me,
heart in hand and spirit so low,
Precious fruit graced her beautiful tree
and my mind paid that heavy tow.
Summer warmed with its shining gleams
wind cooled that beauty in repose.
Then she came to me in my fevered dreams
Softness in her eyes and dainty nose,
Newly discovered things we both sought
eagerness in touches betraying our love.
Night coming our time was dearly bought
we gazed at our star shining bright above;
In simple wonderment she came to me,
an open wish softly whispered in my ear,
Nothing was ever, as pretty as was she
afterwards absolutely nothing ever as dear!

Note: Muse said, just shut up and write.
With tight lips, my hand moved about and
this came out....
My muse returneth and she is as bad as
 ever !

au contraire! This is very lovely, so if you'll excuse my use of the words 'shut up,' I'm saying...'Just shut up and write."
