Hello...Goodbye!
Hello peppery sun that rises from sleep!
As you welcome the day and greet all folk.
Goodbye sparkling stars that sprinkle the sky,
We’ll meet later and romance through the night.
Hello passionate breeze that caresses my skin!
I love your soothing touch as you embrace me so.
Goodbye night air that excites my bones,
Your presence remains so teasingly sweet.
Hello adoring flowers that clothe the day!
Your beauty is so extravagantly sweet.
Goodbye moonlight that showers my path,
We’ll travel together when we meet again.
Hello tantalizing smell of tea so refreshing!
You beckon to me the start of a new day.
Goodbye night rest that fulfils my desire,
You’ve dressed me in the most wonderful gear.
Now I’m ready to face my new day!
