The Blooming
You reached through time and space to touch my soul,
with gentle fingers healed the hurting there,
and I, with this repair, restored and whole,
accepted all the love you had to share.
The Blooming
You reached through time and space to touch my soul,
with gentle fingers healed the hurting there,
and I, with this repair, restored and whole,
accepted all the love you had to share.
And in the summer of your gaze I bloomed,
my petals soft unfolding in the sun,
the days and nights with sweetness all perfumed
as we that had been two now joined as one.

the days and nights with sweetness all perfumed
as we that had been two now joined as one.
A love like this but once a lifetime comes,
a rare and precious gift given to few,
and in its presence all fair pleasance sums,
to be discovered every day anew.

How blessed am I that me of all you chose,
with all your sweet affections to enclose.
