the warm, steamy air
hangs close to the
foliage as we
walk through the woods,
flowers and leaves
glisten in the sun
peeks through the
tree branches, making
a pattern on the
forest floor
rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks
peek out from their
dens to see as we
walk hand in hand
down the path to the creek
there’s a waterfall splashing
the rocks as we
wade in to our knee
flipping water on each other
as we enjoy
our time together…
