Notes About The Poem

Spring Waltz

Flowers
Fragrances and bouquets
Morning dewdrops
The rising sun
Throwing promises
As Gaiety sings
Young lovers kissing 
As the rose buds bloom
Rain drops caressing
Memories floating
Past and present meld
In the coming of spring
A butterfly
Plays with my strings
Éclairs to savor
As eyes kiss eyes
I take hold of you
Dear spring
We twirl you and I
Young and old
Musical chairs 
Lovers wed and bed
I smile at the sweet scent
Cane in hand
Off I go
A blind man
Who waltzes in the spring

Hi Arthur, your words aptly describe the spring beauty that one can see and enjoy. The twist at the end is excellent....so is Chopin's piano offering. Both the music and the fragrance can be enjoyed when eyes are closed. // paul
