Water Lily Pond

Water lilies blanket the slow drifting pond, marine life strive to live,
tall bulking trees envelop the surrounding area,
leaving a path to the place that brought me to you,
this place will be from now until the end, our place.

Quiet had filled my life, loneliness had set in,
nature was my other half, my confidant.
Magic was still alive here, everything existed in the moment,
sounds, smells, love, life, and feeling.

This is way I loved it so dearly,
but one day the winds had changed, something was stirring.
What it brought me that day, I would have never expected,
you were standing along the bridge so elegant in your stance.

Auburn hair braided down your back,
cream coloured skin, silky to the touch,
a green spring dress covered you toned torso,
never had I seen anything of such beauty.

You spoke words I never heard,
your sweet voice sang out in perfect harmony.
We stayed for hours listening and storytelling,
laughing and blushing.

I had realized many things during the moment,
my place had brought me the most precious thing,
my place was no longer mine, it was ours,
and that from this day forward, you would be mine
and I would be yours.
