Sonnet 5: On Golden Days

My heart fell for yours with the autumn leaves

For the way you courted each step with awe

And how you wore pristine joy on your sleeve

I’d never known a face to shine like yours

I long for you the most on golden days

When the promise of fun buzzes like bees

With new adventures waiting to amaze

My thoughts still reach for you across the seas

I daydream of knocking on your front door

To share my day, sipping on smokey tea

Then sink on the sofa to watch you draw

Soaking up the calm that’s sure to mend me

For loving kindness runs warm through your veins

And gentle beauty’s written in your name
