Soft Spoken Words
Soft spoken words were left on my doorstep tonight
A cool breeze opens the door with no one in sight
Thoughts race through the cobwebs of my mind
Thinking back to a place and time
Where the wonder of love filled my life
A sparkling engagement ring on my finger would prove to make me his wife?
Yet the tender words left upon my doorstep
Opened treasures to be investigated or simply not to accept
The wonder of romance and intrigue
Leaves a fragrance of unopened love letters to read
Should I take a leap of faith and look inside this shell?
Perhaps a promise of a valentine fantasy forbidden to tell
Feeling eager like shimmering butterfly wings
Grasping the joys of the birth of spring
As soft spoken words of love leave my door tonight
I’m left with a flicker of love to cherish for the rest of my life
