Silent Love Affair

Softly I whistle from across the fence your head like lightening lifts in greeting as your eyes come to life you meet me halfway and lower your chin to my shoulder as I throw my arms around your neck, nestling into your warmth and inhaling your aroma your breath is soft and warm, sweet smelling as hay, in the crisp morning air. My hands run across the vast expanse of your broad shoulders remembering all the times they carried me and my problems to the slow running river where we’ve spent most our days in sunshine and blissful silence running across the grassy plains I could feel the power in every graceful stride feeling safe and secure You’re a friend who asks no questions you willfully do my bidding and are always there to listen A friend like you, is a friend indeed, you, my faithful companion, my steed.
