Let's Float: Poem

Let’s Float

by Armando Ortiz

Let’s float on a bed of lilies, under the company of blue

‘Cause on this clear spring day that’s all there is to do,

I see you from afar and admire the art of nature’s style,

But the mind is where these images make hope dwell in mire,

You are the elegant painted portrait and the youthful vivid flower,

That makes me long for magical conjuring powers,

Let me place a crown of flowers on your head,

As I admire your beauty and get drunk with your scent

Let’s follow the path that leads to the garden

Where silence rules and nature sings,

Although we are all fated to return to the land of dreams,

The present that life is turns tears into streams.
