If there was a way that I could turn The pages back to that single moment, I would, but for now, I simply yearn. Your hands lay below mine, Gently warming all of the heartache That I had so recently left behind. My head lay on your shoulder, My eyes grazed your sun-kissed face. Beauty lies not only in the beholder. I still remember the strength I felt in your tender embrace, Each breath in unison and faith. For a moment, we both had earned A break from worries and tears, A step back from hard lessons learned. You stirred. I reluctantly moved My loving eyes from your lips, A quiet smile as a gift was proved. You softly whispered my name, A much sweeter sound when from The mouth that set my soul aflame. A tear slipped from my eye, Speaking thousands of volumes No one else would ever understand. As your heartrending gaze held My eyes, you tenderly put your lips Over the glass tear that wouldn't be withheld. As time passed we shared our love That utterly surpassed our beings Our hearts flying upwards as a dove. Our bodies lay under the willow tree, The sun was setting. We were finally free. © 2/25/13

Under the Willow Tree
