MY
HEART
My fingers stroll through the
photographs as I recall
each moment that has been frozen in time.
I spread them out, recollect each lovely
memory,
its laughter, its color, its sweetness;
sleepy
lakes where we camped and fished, sat
watching
dragonflies and birds drop in and out of
view.
I picture scenes of us walking alongside
free-spirited rivers,
squirrels chattering as we create a pinecone
sculpture
to mark our passing through this place.
Cedar tree scents embellish the air as we
journey, holding hands.
Poplars huddle in one space, as if in
deep discussion,
and I whisper that I imagine trees
plotting, planning,
exchanging rumors; we laugh together.
The path winds among ferns, trees, dancing
shadows.
We silently savor what God has created, feel
His touch,
enjoy the calming effect upon us.
We spot glistening webs, see soft
blankets
of moss upon trees, you say they look
like miniature lawns.
As I stroke the moss, you lean in and
place a kiss
upon my neck, whisper that you love me,
and the world stops.
Thoughts stored within my mind, now drawn
out softly
like a silk thread as I finger each
photograph;
rich opalescent moments captured
by camera, and my mind’s eye.
Saffron dawns may light up the morning
skies,
and softened sunsets may stir a soul,
but my memories illuminate my heart.
