Once upon a time, not so long ago. If only you knew, my spirit reflected The greenery of nature and It's cooling On that balmy day. You carefully laid me Down beneath spilled cerulean and crimson sky And moving clouds; a fervent morning sunlight Sheltered under rustling, verdant umbrella Of trees. On a sparse, herbaceous aroma, Bed of grass. You cupped my head in your hand, A small kiss you had laid on my forehead; When we were together, you and I. The comforting love of affection. A perfect moment whilst the world breathed And the clouds gathered to quench the storm. A serenity I would love to see return, But those fluttering autumnal color leaves And spill crimson sky; also mourn for you and me. 10/23/2020 Battle Of Most Acclaimed 2020 Poems Poetry Contest Sponsored by: John Hamilton
