Twas the
wind, that swept her off her feet
Along with
its tranquil voice that sings
Twas the
sun’s pulsating beams
That makes
her dance and swing
Twas the
streams
Skinny as a
string
That taught
her
Life can be as
short as any other thing
Whilst I
stand here
Wanting you
Needing you
closer than near
I have longed
for you through and through
Furthermore
it’s crystal clear
Yet you
leave me to shed a tear
If I was
this tree
Would you love
me?
Throughout
fall, winter, and spring
And in the
warm summer days you bring?
In the woods
of dark shadows
You want me
to follow
With your
attention I wallow
Amidst the
wind, sun, and streams
You’ve made
me see
Earth’s
eternal beauty
You are my
inkling
To a world
in which beauty gleams
I see love
in ways I’ve never dreamed
Your steps
stop
And me, you
turn to
Rays of the
sun come into view
And the wind
quickly blew
Your beauty
reworks to gold specs that flew
Specs that
became the beauty of the earth I knew
In the
bright hue
I realize
you are the earth
And I love
you
