Love they say is a many splendid thing- Love wove for me Such a fine necklace All gleaming with tiny droplet pearls That hung from a sheer gossamer thread Dazzling in clear beauty Glistening in the morning gold of the frosty morn Love sings for me the finest song From the golden throat of a nightingale Like the sounds of many violins Stringing a tune of lonely times and long lonely nights when he waited and listened to the wind for my whispers Of loving response Love shines and twinkles in the midnight hour when Declaring on heavens evening robes where Jewels dance across life’s moving screen Love declares His undying passion For me Then dawn rose from a heart on fire It lit the garden with morning sun Radiant-wearing the finest perfume And colors of the rainbow bowed In memory of our first lost embrace The King waits anxiously- For my smile and my heart. © Brenda V Northeast 28th July 2012
