She knelt at the creek
talking to the water
in a playful dialogue
Peace filled the air
in plumes of orange blossom
eucalyptus and oak moss with
an amber base that cloyed
on petrichore notes
Gnats roiled and undulated
as males danced
in competitive columns
of light beams
where they danced to the rhythm
of the woods
She reclined on the moss
running her fingertips
through the verdant pillow
Her mind floated lazily
His eyes hovered in her mind
glistening like jewels
His voice moved through her
gentle and deep in swaying intonations
His kisses blossomed on her flesh
like holy flowers laid on the river
where they swirled in perfect circles
His hand reached out to hers
clasping in laced gentleness
palms’ conversation freely given
She melted into the bliss
that came
where his love surrounded her
from inside out
and the creek sang along
in whispering chimes
loridaily
