Inside The Bud

Inside The Bud

Inside the bud, the bloom

Inside the bloom, the scent

Inside the scent, the memory

Of all that you have meant.

Inside my mind, the pictures

Inside my heart, the joy

Inside the pictures, the progression

Of the true man from the boy.

Inside the boy, the lover

Who longed to be set free

To be loved and be loving

And who now lives to love me.
