Ever Present

The soft touch of winter snowflakes,
The warm kiss of the summer sun,
The beauty of the changing autumn leaves,
And the fragrance of the springtime flowers,
Each season brings reminders of you.
Each part of nature holds a memory.
Your scent on the crisp breeze,
Your voice in the waves of the sea,
Wherever I look you are with me.
In the depth of night, the ravens call your name.
In the midday heat the trees bow at the thought of you.
From the top of the highest mountain I can look on the horizon and see your face.
You encircle me even from afar,
Like a smooth silk wrapping my body in a dream.
These feelings of comfort and warmth,
Love and calmness.
Everything about you enraptures me, hypnotizes me.
I exist in a trance when you enter my mind,
Thumbing through the hours as if they were down feathers.
Your friendship anchors me.
Your love uplifts me.
Your smile is a kiss I carry in my heart,
The tingling imprint of your love,
And a promise of what is to come.
