Blowing Kisses ~ villanelle

Was it blossom that blew a kiss for me
very tender in caress of my face?
It was so sweet nothing else could it be

I thought of a leaf from an autumn tree
falling lightly in descent full of grace
was it blossom that blew a kiss for me?

Not even butterfly wings were the key
exquisite in their dresses of white lace
It was so sweet nothing else could it be

A shower of rain tears fell silently
yet they could not cry a loving embrace
was it blossom that blew a kiss for me?

I was sure it was not the honeybee
only a flower an endearment could place
It was so sweet nothing else could it be

Really a kiss or just a fantasy
my heart deliriously quickened pace
was it blossom that blew a kiss for me?
It was so sweet nothing else could it be

An absolutely beautiful Villanelle and perfect for the delightful spring your country has started to enjoy. Also the poem looks wonderful with the photo you have chosen. May you have the best spring ever Stella.

A truly lovely piece Stella. I'm sure it was blossom that blew a kiss to you.
Spring is definitely in the air, as the trees bud and blossom.
