That special season of our lives
When we are at the pinnacle of
Our prime, a time that glorifies youth.
Sultry showers under flowered bowers,
Scintillating scents where love blooms
In damp drops that lightly cool the skin.
Sunshine spilled over me in warm waves
Along the verdant hidden path I explored
As an aqua pool gave way to my dreams.
Birds were watching as I skinny dipped
Beneath the waterfall in a crystal pall,
I never knew you were watching too.
A photographer for National Geographic,
You got your shots, but I was in your thoughts
As later you conveyed to me so joyously.
One sleepy summer afternoon in humid June
We fell in love and returned to that lovely spot.
It will be there, we will always share our ecstasy.
