No Greener

Stepping stones covered with moss Across the little stream they went to their spot beside the tree that resembles an inverted pom-pom Streamers looking like green elongated feathers Weeping willow, crying joyous tears Mint and ivory comforter spread out atop lush grass A tisket a tasket, inside the green and yellow basket... fresh cucumbers, celery, bell peppers, creamy guacamole, sweet honeydew wedges, limeade to wash it all down Hours went by...they grazed and gazed into each others eyes The bayou heat created a green haze around them Tired now, they laid on their backs and smiled at the same sky Emerald heart shaped thought bubbles appeared over their heads Few words needed to be exchanged, just being together, was enough No greener pastures needed 3/1/16
