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