a wonderer & her words

Keep my secrets, dear flowers

Let it color your blooms

Let it brighten a tired soul's day

Let it flourish as foliage

Let it be drenched in rain

Let nothing but the wind know

of the words you hold safe

And with the withering of your leaves

Let those secrets meet their grave.

I thought my scars to be the ugliest,

my wounds the deepest,

my nights the loneliest.

But your color set against mine showed a darker hue

and I wonder,

what stained you?

snowshoeing day at Shouf Biosphere Reserve

I wait for you

at the edges of a gray cloud,

in the scent of the coming rain,

between the last rays of sunlight,

beyond the stillness of a lonely heart.

I wait for you.

I watched your greens turn to browns And your freshest spring fade to a blazing summer And all the while your smile was warm your touch was comforting and your sky the bluest of blue
