Spring song

I am a grizzled tree


But 


Your lips petal my blue daffodils 
Your verses salt my sky 


So


Spring me the forest rain
Spring me the summer sun      
            
In your tender hands,


I am a berry seed, 
Budding at the tip of your tongue  


We listen to Vivaldi's concerto, 
Our spring song still so beautiful

    So wonderful when people who have been together for years still have that 'spring love' kind of feeling for each other. A breath of fresh air in spring. Bring on Vivaldi!

    I already LOVED this when reading then I got to the photo at the end and completely swooned. Wonderful!

    Great pairing of prose and picture.

    This is such a gorgeous piece. You have made the Spring into a revival (or continuance) of emotion felt by familiar lovers.
