You'Ve Got Mail

Forever etched within the meadows of my mind you stood silent in wait of me amid the flowering Lithrope, snuggled deep beside ornamental irons, I did watch only to find your eyes waver fearful a passerby may intrude upon your pounding heart I must be courageous in God's glorious garden or forever be hollow and set aside The sun and breeze kiss a Paulownia tree sending the leaves lovingly onto my path crushing phlox and coneflowers beneath my feet I muster courage ambling forward to meet the most beloved creature I've ever beheld, the same I seek forgiveness from " I love you please allow time to know me further than empty words on a screen" Judy Konos 8/30/15 Sense of Touch contest ============================ Central Park Manhattan, New York City Opened in 1857 on 778 acres

This is creative, especially when comparing the title to the content of this poem, Judy! #7 Have to admit I had not heard of a Paulownia tree (in fact I looked it up); playing around with words: I, Paul, own a tree:) ~ paul
