The Trail

rain falls gently while strolling beneath the trees hands enclosed as branches sway slowly not in a rush just walking with ease magnolia perfumes the breeze that chills our bodies unexpectedly as we search for the warmth of summer days captured in each other’s gaze intensely staring at a rainbow that appears from behind the clouds stopping abruptly for an embrace cheek to cheek nose to cheek lips to cheek lips to lips still moving with ease not bothered by the gentle rain or the chilled breeze finding the warmth of a sunny day intoxicated by the heady scent of magnolias while the branches continue to sway
