A Love Poem for Nature

The smell of winter mist fills the forest,
The sky a pretty pinkish blue,
Birds chirp in a distance too far…
He holds her hand, stepping together.

Leaves crunch below their feet,
The stream, a cool mossy bed of rocks…
A tighter grip, gentle nonetheless,
She whispers into his heart ‘I love you’.

The naked trees look to the ground,
Not in shame, maybe begging patience…
The earth, moist under the blanket of leaves,
They breathe in, a tiny shiver, a snowflake.

It isn’t goodbye, but a sweet goodnight kiss.
It is never a goodbye… just a wait…
For the sun, to breathe, to live, to fly!
A kid, a paper plane, a dog, four smiles.
