My darling,
Did you ever wake up in the morning
To find the sun's eyes right on you,
So you could bury your face
Into my neck
And smile against my flesh?
My darling,
Do the sylphs rustle the boughs
Just to bathe us with flittering leaves,
When we run for shade?
Are there undines beneath those waves
Ruffling the waters
To tide us closer while we bathe?
My darling,
Are the sky people lighting up their beacons,
Those burning urns,
So the starlight can help us find our way
Through the meandering trails of love unsaid?
Are those moon ghosts howling
So we could snuggle closer, unafraid?
My love,
Where has this breeze travelled from
To make your hair billow like that,
To make you shiver
Like a leaf from a fallen tree?
Did those other gales move out of its way
Just so I can see you quiver
And hold you closer to me?
