Crowning the grass
before the trampling
of the pedestrians,
on the season's first moon
daffodils exhale,
above the thaw
of the final frost,

the heart will attempt now
to cradle your memory
where once you were seen
in the clarity of its open window,

watching in wonder
the new growth in its dwelling,
sweet love's introduction
before the footsteps of complacency.

to cradle your memory
where once you were seen
in the clarity of its open window,

I can't even begin to tell you how those lines grab me...

you have a real way with words Mich,
in one word?  amazing....

I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
let me dig a little deeper
nah, still nothing~
my give a DAMN is busted. Jodee

heartfelt and potent....

Daffodils:
golden trumpets of sunlight
heralding new birth-
Spring's breeze enters your window
despite the griefs of the heart.

But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

So very touching in its beauty, dear Michele.
