I don't understand why my mind drifts to thoughts of you, in the spring when I'm alone in the woods. The dew is on the grass, and the small flowers begin to bud, the petals slippery and wet, glistening in the morning sun. The birds sing their symphonies of praise, and the trees, ***** and strong, reach to the waiting sky. The rain shoots down, and I rest.
