Come Gently Down
By Cinara
Come Gently Down Come down, sweet mist, come gently down And settle on the flower To place wet beads upon the blade And moisten draping bower But do not make a single sound My love is sleeping still Please fall onto the morning earth In silence if you will Reach out, dear flower, toward slanted beams Embrace the rising sun Consume the warmth assigned each leaf The day has just begun Unwrap each flaunting petal wing Bathe each in fragrant balm But don’t allow the perfume stir His most exquisite calm Please let my love rest peacefully Still draped in midnight’s fold Do not allow your glaring beams Disturb his dreams of gold So radiate, my morning sun Shine prisms through the glass But don’t cast rainbows on his face Or in his darkness pass Sing out your morning song, spring bird But trill more quietly Do not disturb his slumber from Atop the dogwood tree I could not bear that he should wake By morning bird or mist Or roses spreading to the light Or sunbeams playfulness For it is I who wants to wake him With a tender loving kiss Written February 22nd, 2002 © on Feb 22 2002 03:45 AM PST 0 • 8
