My Destiny, You

Deep green, the trees move slowly in the breeze, as I pass through this lazy wood. The day grows cool with the taste of snow in the evening twilight. The leaves caress my skin like soft feathers as I move in measured pace past the longing wings of the forest. My travels have left me gently fluttering through this lost landscape of solitude, bereft of soul and lost of body, when there, I saw you. Your gentle rosy cheeks peeking timidly from behind veils of verdant foliage. Drawing closer I gazed upon your demure countenance. Your soft perfect petals warming me and, you, coyly gazing into my eyes. You gently weep your desire as I draw near, but to pluck your fragrant flower would undo me; so, I must return to my path and leave your tears untouched. I travel the road that leads my heart and leads me to beauty and love. With no destination to my final journey, I know this road shall return me to you. dancing leaves of green hide perfect fuchsia petals longing dreams of you 11/27/15
