the very first breath of spring
through snowy woods, whispering
new budded leaves and melting streams
dance butterfly in bright sun beams

the glow of lightning bugs in June
as purple twilight kisses gloom
cicadas sing sweet lullabies
 stars twinkling in summer skies

starlight in my lovers eyes
 whispered words, broken sighs
the weight of you between my thighs
heat to warm my winter nights

well worth the lonely tears I've cried
to love you so after all this time
 heart like flooded springtime stream
is overflowing it would seem

through all the seasons that make "we"
you've always made my soul believe
in happy things like hopes and dreams
despite my tattered, broken wings

you are magic, moonlit nights
my garden and my paradise
all these things and more to me
your heart, my home
my destiny
