With Love For You

Sun flow progressed from east to west, with rays of light, the day is blessed. Like suns imbue, rays beaming through, my heart still shines with love for you. Sun rays presume that flowers bloom, and fill the air with sweet perfume. Like flowers hue of red and blue, my heart still blooms with love for you. The charmed mystique of forest creek that trickles down a mountain’s cheek. Like streamlets spew their water through, my heart still flows with love for you. From Moon’s soft glow, the moonbeams flow, and light the darkness down below. Like moonbeams strew the silvery hue, my heart still glows with love for you. A candle’s light glows in the night as shadows dance with calm delight. Like flames that grew with heat on cue, my heart still burns with love for you. August 24, 2019
