Return To Me

Come back with me to youth's summer retreat, back to the lush path you and I did first meet - where songs of nature oust life's cruel deceit. Many miles from today's dark-walled concrete built from bitterness and our acts of deceit. Return to me and young love's time of sweet memories, when our days felt complete, and nights we slept 'neath a star-studded sheet then woke to the sway of blushed blooms petite, Queen Anne's Lace and Daisies, dawn's playful treat. Break from anger's grasp and let us repeat a time when earth's soil laid green at our feet. Love, hope and joy lived in every heartbeat, and lost souls were found with a first kiss, discreet. Come back to me, to our summer retreat, down yesterday's path where young lovers did meet. Written 2/8/17 for Shadow's Monorhyme Contest
