The Spring Is Blossoming (Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

The spring is blossoming with a myriad of flowers,
daily the sky is filled with an ocean full of showers
while the redbreast on the gate does dance and sing
and in this time it is great to be alive and existing.

I wish you were right here to experience this
to enjoy the beauty the loveliness that life is
that with your eyes you could this beauty see
and I do love you selfishly and selflessly

as a man does love the one that changes his life
as a person that is truly in love and alive
and now that you are away and far gone
somehow your essence and presence do linger on

but maybe it's just the subconscious and the feelings of the heart
that tries to overreach the boundaries that do keep us apart.
