As her heart sang its songs in the meadow
Full the sun, shined its glitter in shadow
Any season that reason forthcoming
Skips the light of fantastic still strumming

He appeared on the outskirt of sages
Never sure in the turning of pages
Yet delight is his signature image
Prowess bold for the sidelines in scrimmage

In his follow her skirt tucked in waste band
Gently fair, through the dimming of bad land
In the scatter of elk through the carpet
On the hoof of the bull gone to market

At the edges of pine lay permission
Shedding sleeve and her own inhibition
Shuddered shoulder and rack in the ripple of black
All his sturdy and steam but the tip of a dream she held back

That he knew her so well, dipped the cup deep the well
Soft his touch to her hair, as the snow of not now slowly fell
Although pleased with himself, in his moves made so stealth
He remained in the brushes, overseeing her steps, for the good of her health

All the while did she know that he could love her so?
That his tough disposition just a misplaced omission of whole
It is said of her still, by her own light and will
That she meets him half way, in the climb of each hill

To delight and astound, songs of flight move the ground
And his beauty grows deeper every sweet scent around

life and relationships are all about that
hill and being halfway...

A unique write K.  Little out of your norm,
but quite good.  Flarrs are bloomin indoors!
Tarrs are rollin'....outdoors...

Smile!

~ I especially like those lines.

A lovely poem, you have penned TD!
