When I gaze at the golden glow of the rising sun
Embracing the peaceful aura of the breaking dawn
The sun sprinkling sunshine on the glistening dew
A gentle knock to the heart makes me think of you
When my feet kiss the soft lush verdant earth
The gentle air touches my thought, kissing my hair in mirth
I see the birds satisfying their longing desire
A gentle knock to the heart, my love is lit with the passion of fire
As the trees rustle with the wind and those birds serenade
I dream of the cadence when our two hearts would again resonate
Our dilly-dallying, and dawdling I reminisce
A gentle knock to the heart, those days how I miss!
As our conduit of love flows like sunshine into a tree
Care drops away from me like leaves of Autumn, making me free
As the whispering stream and bubbly trees send me into a poet’s dream
A gentle knock to the heart, with love scintillating, my eyes become agleam
As I sit in silence when the day is almost done
And see behind the distant hill the painted glow of the sun
I inhale the sweet essence that life has given me
A gentle knock to the heart, with you, how I long to be.
