Winter Waits

Last spring arrived with soft cocoon I dreamed that love would visit soon. The butterfly that graced my arm soon flew – she thought I meant her harm. I couldn’t chase her, but I knew she would return if love is true. My summer passed and autumn then, Now winter waits for spring again.

Milady doth serve me well with thy Shakespearean dialect and congratulatory bequest. Nor it nor no remembrance what it was (huh?) Thank you for the treasure of thy words!
