Conversing With My Husband

I listen for him in every breath of the wind Deciphering his moods so I can adjust accordingly He comes to me in the form of a robin Blue jay interference; they fight over my love. I smirk as I see him appear in the form of a fern. Tall and straight with a soldier’s stance; my soldier. He delights me like no other. I sit in silence admiring him. My daughter calls to try to lure me indoors, but I ignore it. My husband is out here – in the form of an oak, In the curve of the grasses. I can feel him watching me. I resolve to stay out here until the stars come out For that is when he truly gets playful and whispery.

Love the attributes of him you see in the different forms of nature - and the 'whispery' stars, ooh la la....
