Sitting in the garden
with soft light playing along ivy covered trellises
and the sound of rushing water from a fountain near by
I open my eyes and think of only you

Inhale the scents of freshly turned earth and new life
fill my senses with thoughts and longing for you
In this garden lush and green

Warm breezes brush against my face
and slow footsteps sound on the stone path behind me
I hold my breath
and pray that they're yours

I'm waiting in the garden

As birds sing accompaniment to my wishes...my dreams
the trees dip and sway a timeless waltz
and the flowers open their petals in a timeless offering
Even the distant sound of laughter
heightens my anticipation

Myself, the birds, the trees
the flowers, and even the fountain's rushing water
tremble and sigh
in unison

In the garden lush and green
with the sunlight on my shoulders
and the warm breezes on my face
I sit and wait
for only you


If I don't say it...who will?

My, oh my, tremble and sigh!

Most of us know what such waiting is like, and you have described that and the physical setting very beautifully here.
