The warming sunshine on my back <br />And a light breeze blowing my gold hair <br />I sit on a bridge over a cool crystal stream <br />My feet explore the shiny rocks below <br />His protecting arms around me tight <br />To keep all harm from finding me here <br /> <br />He leans over and kiss me softly <br />As I watch and listen to the scene unfold <br />Upon a lush tree near the sparkling waters edge <br />A little sparrow chirps its enlightening song <br />And a colorful butterfly flutters its wings <br />As it enjoys the nectar of a flower nearby <br /> <br />We begin to walk the waters edge, hand in hand <br />Occasionally splashing each others legs <br />We never speak, letting the words of our hearts <br />Speak aloud through the air and the stream <br />Before I realize it the sun has slipped away <br />Lighting the horizon with oranges and pinks <br /> <br />We lay down in a lush, green meadow <br />And watch a whitetail deer and a fawn <br />As they nibble at the tender blades of grass <br />Before returning to the safety of the forest. <br />I roll to my back to see the stars appear <br />To watch over the world as it drifts asleep <br /> <br />The full moon joins the stars in the sky <br />As I curl up next to my lovers side <br />We enjoy one last embrace and a soft kiss <br />Before I settle my head on his chest <br />And listen to his soft heartbeat to relax <br />Then we fall asleep under the glowing stars<br /><br />Britney Hogue<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lovers-crystal-stream/
