Your smile was summer to me.
My wintry days sun- drenched with
your love warming my heart.

I dreamt of a life long dance.

Caution and wisdom drifted away
in those breezy days,
I stumbled.
Your carefree mask fell.

The drone of the bees
flitting from lavender to lavender
after kissing the blushing roses,
the exuberance of the song birds,
and the gently flirting wind
even the sunshine helpless to thaw
the chill that crept into my heart
turning my summer
wintry.
