Nature and You

NATURE AND YOU On the horizon gray clouds tending towards purple black swimming slowly breaking in spots to thin slivers of light letting the final rays of the sun break through the mood was somber and threatening as cloudy days will be Swans flew south to Florida mosquitoes in late autumn were increasing and were voracious summer flowers were dying sure that winter was right around the corner Squawking birds flew over head churning waters under a houseboat swirl in a frenzy dogs yelp in distant open meadows Across the pond on the other side of a water well through the mist an elk appears as a ghostly being I thoroughly enjoyed those evenings feeling Nature's and your organic displays In our beach house a dark colored cherry brown rocking chair sits your chair…with worn spots running along the arms sits in an empty room in our beach house by the lake The only thing I feel I need is you clothed in your majestic rawness exuding the naturalness of love and I experiencing my ardor in your aura immersing myself in your feminine beckoning The air was turning chilly the morning cold air formed tears on the tree branches I remember your warmth next to me that was a glorious night… But tonight…you aren’t next to me tonight… My memory recalls the dark cherry brown rocking chair you sat in with worn spots running along its arm exuding your sweet odor of gardenias sits in an empty, solitary room in our beach house by the lake a lonely solemn rocking chair with me sitting in it.
