They walked together
Through the old forest
Their love as ancient
As the moss covered trees,
Rooted deep within the Earth.
Their hearts had become one
With the passing of time,
Their souls sharing this journey
Through life.
Coming up the path
She saw him
Leaning against a tree.
The sight of him
Took her breath away.
She smiled to think,
That after all these years
He could still cause
Such a stir within her.
And he, seeing her smile,
Thanked the Earth
For guiding them together
So long ago.
Then he heard the forest whisper,
“This is all I ever wanted for you,
For any of you,
To feel my joy
And be filled with love.”
