Soft leaves underfoot, mosaics of nature Sleeping in shadows of yawning maples Beneath these stretching branches I roam Foot steps in rhythm with a woodpecker’s cadence Humming to the harmony of dawn’s cool breeze
Sunlight weaves past distant mountain peaks Warming my face, enhancing my vision Miles evaporate like morning dew Moments become an ever changing serenity For happiness waits at the end of this journey
Clear waters race between glistened stone I splash my face in anticipation of a new day Dreaming of her on an Adirondack kind of morning Following a path through the mirrors of my thoughts Listening for the endless echoes of love
Peaceful vistas beckon my heart’s desires Cleansing my soul in lilac wanderings Breathing the air of solitude affection Knowing this sunrise lifts her from sleep Praying her first thought is of me
