Svegliarsi A Primavera
Waking
in Spring
Like air that comes to rest
on the glow of a flame
the flame lights
up
at the radiance of your face
a
star in the desert
that illuminates my soul
and your essence settles
on petals from roses
like ears of corn in the wind
then the wind takes a break
a rest that is gentle and carefree
above
powder from the snow
and like snow beneath the sun
unafraid of the heat
I will sleep without fear
since your dreams are by my side
How sweet is your smile
that has never asked for anything
and I have said nothing to you
before
these words
and without you these words
would not be a song
without you this song
would not be about love
this love is unguarded
and will never be able to say enough
it only takes one word
and that word is simply sorry
I am truly
sorry my love
too often unsaid
I
feel like a wave
the beach has spirited away
Letters never written
then left on the couch
that space so empty
it makes me feel alone
I hear the melody of a violin
sing a song of poetry
it is your song
that calls me
to wake me when it is evening
it is your aria that calls me
to wake me in spring
