On a riverbank she
stood many moons ago
firelight danced between towering pines
she heard his soft velvet voice whispering
a language that only she could understand
beyond a sea of
clouds, new horizon awaits
his dark hair glistens in sunbursts of
orange
her body becomes flushed with
thoughts..
floating weightlessly, poems from her heart
dreaming in an autumn scented afternoon
ripples of water flowing over mossy rocks
red maple leaves carrying secret messages
in a gentle breeze, she feels his warm touch
inhaling and
exhaling breathing deep
desire filling her lungs..lost in the moment
branches sway, twigs crack a lush forest bed
curtains of summer close,
fall quietly arrives
distant drums vibrate chanting a warrior's song
two wild spirits dance to the rhythmic beat
red tail hawk glides across pearly blue skies
new harvest ripe filling their endless hunger
hot sparks ignite within smoldering eyes
following trails of their wandering souls
memories of the journey overwhelming
quivering she embraces a world unknown
streams of their lives merging into one
a river of currents they willingly ride
sharing their innermost thoughts
no words are
necessary to understand
