In the summer
tall trunk green pine trees
quietly swaying in the soft breeze
a peaceful life
thin needles tapestry the sunlight
as it struggles finding its way through the thickness
the sun’s warmth finally touches the ground
the sunlight’s journey now complete
In the spring
pink cherry blossom delicate petals floating down softly land on her shoulders
others resting for a moment in her hair
a bold petal flickers on an eyelash before blinked off
just moments ago the pink petals noble, high above
they too now finding the ground
together they innocently form a thin pink blanket
something they learned from the snow
soothing the worlds woes
their journey now complete
In the winter
you had invited him to dinner opening the door he hands you a rose
smelling its romantic fragrance that look comes over your face
that special look women only get when smelling flowers in these special moments
the evening as if in slow motion, warm yet exciting the inside of you
his eyes locked in yours, yours in his in a soft embrace all evening hardly noticing the meal
white smoke wafts slowly upward from the snuffed-out candles
the smell of the smoke wrenching you both back to reality marking dinner’s end
he stands, turning to leave,
he stops
turning he kisses you,
his lips gentle as butterfly wings
turning again,
he steps into the cold rain
his hair just over a turned-up collar of his leather jacket
you had told him your favorite flower, a red rose
he remembered
stepping back inside, you turn to see the red rose resting on the table
the roses’ journey now complete
In the Autumn
jump up on a chair
blowing your softest kiss high into the air
I jump up high and catch it when it gets here
your kisses journey now complete
And today…
our journey has just begun
