Are you one of the few

The chosen

Able to pause, and look through

The prism of spring

And all that it brings

The dawn of a new day

I must say

There's nothing quite like

Daffodils as play

Why are you smiling, he asked

Sweat glistening under his eye

For a moment I felt distracted

A lone firefly

Saying her final goodbye

Your face sundrenched

Aglow

And so

If you must know

You, my darling, make me smile

You

A starling

A summer rainbow

The other day I asked myself

What it means to be kind

Like if I die

What will I leave behind

A life

An impact

Countless smiles unwrapped

And so under the spruce tree

As the birds sang

As I waited for you

I knew

Like a thread pulled loose

Coming undone

Softly

Like a vow never spoken

A door left open

I knew

Before your lips met mine

Before the stars forgot to shine

Before the night swallowed us whole

I was already gone
