Here, Outside of Eden

I'm looking past the window pane
Out at the clouds of falling rain
That hover o'er in shades of gray
To paint the sky with drab dismay
I wonder if the birds will sing
Again to welcome days of spring
When Lover's lips will once more kiss
And speak the words I reminisce
Oh, showers come to drench the hill
That I will watch and linger still
Here in my hibernated state
Where solace must my heart await
The hollow knock upon my door
As fragrant springs will flow once more
To steal away my dark despair
And fly my spirit through the air
Above the dreary clouds of Earth
Unto the land of joy and mirth
Back to Eden where life began
When GOD made Nature one with man.

YAY!!! Oh my gosh, this is sooooooo heavenly, I just love how you make spring and love come alive in your words! (big hugggsssss) I felt like I was rolling around in the garden of Eden, basked in His love and comfort. (sigh) Fabulous, sweet friend, absolutely breathtaking! We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Bob, I knew you'd do a lovely thing with such a line as that. Thank you for taking it on. May I copy and place in my favorites of other poet's file? May I share with a few that have also attempted the challenge?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
