You were a tree.

Not too short but not surpassingly lanky. 
The foliage wasn’t thick either
and yet not scrimpy enough 
to make the tree look shorn or deciduous.

Ample light passed through the leaves.
The elements were temperate,
neither sultry, nor betraying a freeze.

It was neither day, nor night,
hard to tell the dark from bright.

There was a placid rustle
as the breeze politely shuffled 
across the nubilous *chaparral*.

I stood there

knowing it is you 
and the flowers from the tree were
profuse.

They kept falling on and around me.
