I Saw You Speak To the Trees

The sun still hadn't come up. The grass was still covered in its cool blanket of moisture as you crossed the clearing with an ease I had never seen before. It seemed as if you knew exactly where you were going and that you'd be welcomed once you got there. The closer you came to the woods the more I watched in amazement. The trees...all of them began to move. No, they began to bow. It was at that moment that I wondered if I was awake or still sleeping beside you in our bed. With a combination of fear and excitement I rubbed my eyes to remind myself that it was early still and my mind may be playing tricks but...I saw it. I saw the weeping willows as well as the mighty oaks gently bow-down while you entered your woods. You held your head high and appeared to give them a nod as if you were saying ''Good morning old friends'' and then they straightened again as if all was right with the world. I never told you I saw this but from that day on I knew you were no ordinary man and I was an extraordinarily lucky woman.
