Yet again, got out and and was going my way
Pondering in my mind the events of the previous day
And how this new one would play
The cold wind biting, and threatening to make my clothes fray
I tell myself, 'Surely it must be warmer in May!'
As I sauntered along, my face splayed in grimace
Alas, I almost tripped on my undone shoe lace
Sigh, I did, and bent over to return it to its place
And as i made to get up, I encountered a blessing and miracle for our very human race
A warm burst of sunlight brushed my face!
And it changed everything
My heart raced with excitement
A wry smile spread across my face as I savoured the moment
And sweet memories and thoughts flooded my mind in a torrent
Basking in the sun's warmth as it came in currents
Hmm! I quipped, familiar feeling here!
One absolutely spell binding, like the one in the changed atmosphere
It was only a fraction of a moment before it was clear
The feeling that's had my heart in Cupid's snare
Slowly but surely, my mind wandered
Like the sun's bright light
Tha't how she makes me feel, day and night
Like the warmth of every golden ray
She makes my heart warm, the very same way
Now my day is filled with brightness
My heart beats her name with gladness
Wiping off the gloom, on my face, the sun sparked a smile
Same way she sparks up passion, deep and sure as the Nile
So I whisper to the sun
And in the same breath, to 'The One'
For the first, my body
For the other, my tender little heart
Please keep me warm!
