It was early in springtime
when you first came to me.
I had awaited the winters thaw.
in loneliness and grief.
For until that moment
I had lost you even
before we had met.
You sought my soul
with your beautiful blue eyes.
In them I saw the sun and sky
as if for the first time.
We have travelled together
through many springtime’s now.
Awaiting the familiar
green opening of buds
on the linden tree.
yet still when you gaze into me
with your beautiful blue eyes.
In them I see the sun and sky
as if for the first time.
