Spring's New Year

April 14, 2014

On a misty spring night
With the moon at its peak
I rounded the corner fast
And saw you there
Encased in glass
I could barely speak

You dared to smile,
That gentle, squinty half-smile
That smile that told
The stories of your eyes
That lit the room with gold
Against the deepening cobalt skies

I splashed in your laugh
Like a bird in a fountain
And stumbled into your depths
Heard the clanging of ships
Under a Red Eclipse
And warmed myself in your breath

Pulled under
Into waves of wonder
I've inhabited the leagues of your heart
Every year must end,
I've learned
But then
A new one has to start
