Minus You

The soft rain has eased to a stop.

The flirtatious musk of the grass

pervades my solitude and makes me shiver.

Through my windows (which face towards you)

twitters a joyful robin,

bringing bright greetings to my pensiveness;

I hear your laughter.

I think of you.

The robin kisses the surface of a still puddle

and moistener his throat.

He sings more, and again rings your laughter!  

My soul bathes in Nature's beauty this morning,

but I'm still incomplete -- minus you.
