On a woven wool blanket <br />on the ground under a tree, <br />A whisper surrounded me, <br />then an embrace, <br />and a soft silence, <br />underneath a star-filled sky. <br /> <br />I felt a cool breeze <br />even though the warm night lingered, <br />and while there, <br />I carved your name, with love, <br />on the bark of that tree. <br /> <br />Funny, I came back years later, <br />and the tree was still there, <br />with your name carved <br />in a heart, with love, <br />but you were gone, and I - <br />I was alone.<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/return-3/
