SPRING, by                    
First Line: Sunlight like myriad shining white gulls skimming the water
Last Line: Never to flower?
Subject(s): Spring


Sunlight like myriad shining white gulls skimming the water --
Beloved, my longing for you hurts
Like the repeated pecking of sharp-billed birds at my heart.
Radiant blue sky, all but singing with color --
Beloved, have you guessed at the mystery of my eyes after kisses?
Trembling spring-green of trees --
Beloved, do you know the shyness that clothes like a silver mist
The glowing passion of a woman?
Miracle of flowering blossoms --
Beloved, can you guess at the despair
Of one who trembles forever at the verge of Spring
Never to flower?
