Down by.....

there is no reason

It’s been a year since I sat by your side.

12 months, since I whispered your name.

And watched you move.

It’s been ages since I touched you.

Body against body.

Skin to skin.

It’s been too long.

Too long since I entered your woods and followed your paths.

Listening to the things that inhabit you.

Too long since I have watched the dragonflies skit upon you.

And the fish dart about you.

The ducks land on you.

And heard your call.

Answered.

And swum in your watery embrace.
