her fantasy fulfilled she guides him by pack-horse up the craggy mountain trail restrained by his inexperience their destination above her beloved secret valley river far below, a faded blue memory
spying snow-coned peaks beyond she fights the urge, for his sake, to gee her horse the last few feet almost there, past the jagged rocks gap's a beckoning finger now welcoming her home so many years of separation
the valley bursts upon them a composite of wondrous sights compelling her to bring him quickly through to hallowed ground how many times she had returned alone she turns to him, a stranger here only he deserves her secret place
watching his face seeing elation and her radiance mirrored simultaneously in his eyes an expanse of horizon mountain, aspen, florid fields, and water nature's precious jewels adorn the vista dressed with utmost care to steal the unsuspecting heart
she leads him into the meadow overlooking the turquoise cirque cool waters in which she bathed naked and contented when last she'd journeyed here meadow flowers cloak the blanket she spreads for him
her fantasy fulfilled his body framed against the sky -limitless as their love- and boundless beauty in this valley
One of my earliest poems, so please excuse the jejeune nature of the write.
