Come, loved one... stay sunlit grand Let birdsongs from those lips croon to me, Of radiant morns holding your blooms And leaves aglow winging carefree , These lustrous scenes...gifts of revelry. Lady, Lay...endow air with languid tunes These hands brimming with flowers While charmed presence speak of magic ... Your enchantment flaming my hours Till cloudscape fondle us with late showers. All through seasons, dance me tenderly Dare not vanish, trail off, or depart; These springtime dreams are nestled All through weaves of my mesmerized heart, Awaiting your bridal nod ...from the start. Then when life's greyish clouds billow Tousling remnants of our younger days-- Will you caress and shake off my tears ? I'll race us into old twilight's grace If only to meet our lasting embrace.

Hi Nette, Practically left floating to such a nice place in this. "I'll race us into old twilight's grace // If only to meet our lasting embrace." Do you know this song by Bob Dylan? I didn't recognize it as one of his tunes when it played on the radio. Such a different and haunting sound recorded several years after his motorcycle accident and injury. I'm glad he stayed around. -Richard
