We Came To A Clearing

Artwork by Pauline Wood-now enhanced with the advice of Rascal.

We Came To A Clearing

Our fingers entwined,
as one …
my grip soft, but firm,
revealing my adoration
and respect for you
as an independent being.

The wood
was muted in colours
of summer's shadows;
the fresh scent
of leaf mould, moss,
and blue bells
was warmly intoxicating,
and our stroll sublime.

Your fragrance
filled me to bursting,
your artistry
captured my heart and my mind;

then, we came to the clearing.

A hypnotic dell …
where sunlight
penetrated the canopy,
to bring warmth
and new growth.

Here,
amongst the magic of the glade
and it's softly verdant bed,
we made forever promises,
and …
the most beautiful,
passionate love.

A very beautiful stroll expressed with eloquent words from a master wordsmith. Very nice and thank you for sharing a fabulous love poem for the ages.

Thank you for such kindness Willard. The picture here is a real art work by Pauline Wood. I bought it recently and sent it to my sister in Australia for an engagement present.

[Willard Wells]

And did you write a piece to be framed and placed next to the picture. Very nice present for your sister and her husband.

No but I could fall love with Pauline Wood. She is lovely and artistic and earthly.

[Willard Wells]

Yes those romantic amongst us seem to fall quite regularly.
