On the other side of the pool
The reflection of shrub and trees
birds swooping and circling over head
Beautiful sounds of chirping and bees
Standing, staring into the pool
Where willow touched the surface
I see the beginning of small ripples
Lil ducks are swimming with purpose
Gentle breezes bring a wondrous smell
of wildflowers pretty and sweet
Behind me I hear a horse’s bray
and I know my love and I will meet
I turn just as a horse trots up
My love atop his mare
Reaching down to take my hand
And lift me to him with love and care
He pulls me close, arms circle round
Holding safely and secure
The world around up stopping
Our surroundings are now but a blur
Nature dulls and can’t compare
When loves sweet presence is felt
Circled in my lover’s arms
All of my senses seem to melt
