Singing softly and sweetly in fall’s gentle breeze
Enveloped I was found in a comforting bouquet
The fragrant scent of her soul beckoned me to stay
Illumined by the late slanting afternoon sun
Her light touched my eyes, I had nowhere to run
Presently unaware, I watched as she slipped
From the edge descending, my heart faltered and skipped
By the good grace and timely fortune of fate
In the right place and moment, thankfully I was not late
With feet firmly planted and heavy of heart
Arms opened to catch her, I’d been there from the start
Into her eyes I gaze and gently brush away her hair
Safely held in my arms, she need not have a care.
Within the depth of my heart, thoughts of her swim
Ever present, near or far, I hold her dearly within
Now my heart clearly hears her love’s gentle song
Surrounding my soul in an ever comforting calm
