Love is afoot in the bells of springtime Heralding the long days like a mischievous sprite Making ready the laughter, the tender light of your smile Our bodies at the ready, our senses in flower Love is afoot in the bells of springtime Love is afoot in the bells of springtime Splendor awaits in the folds of sunrise Love is afoot in the bells of springtime Enchanting and tender like the bluebirds in flight Preparing all the ways I will nest in your arms Light footed and bluer than the bluest of skies Love is afoot in the bells of springtime Love is afoot in the bells of springtime Splendor awaits in the folds of sunrise

about

The last days of spring, dreaming of summer: envision a meadow full of wildflowers, birds & insects, with the wind gently swaying the tall grasses, the stems and calyxes. There, fanciful fairies weave delicate gossamer strings, setting the scene to entice the lovers to blissfully revel in each other and the wilderness around them. Acoustic, wooden tones, petals dancing in the breeze, bells and flutes, reeds and strings. Earth and air. Now imagine the fairies, their work done, leaving the site to go laze about and frolic by a brook, dancing of course, playing tricks and games, thrilled to think of their clever ambush and celebrating the lovers’ love. And there you have it!
