Gentle fingertips of springtime
     plucks the fragrance in the wind
      mockingbirds mimic bluebirds
     sienna breasted robins sing

     Silken petals dance like confetti
     brighten the morn with their ballet
     butterflies flaunt their fan dance
     in their kaleidoscope exotic way

     Behind our oriental screen
     is our sheet music of lilac gold
     tucked away safe within your arms
     forever a painting to behold

     Strings of the wind never to pluck adieu
     lost within your eyes..eyes of midnight blue


A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
- Paul Valery (1871-1945)
