Nature Surrounds Me As She Approaches
I waited for my woman and the dawn to rise
Darkness was fading in the east
Waves drifted in softly lapping the shoreline
Palm leaves made rustling sounds
The silky voices of two doves cooed in unison
The sun slowly began to peak around the clouds
Escaping the confines of the cirrus lattice
Unleashing its brilliance
The sun’s rays bounced off each swell,
Lightly leaping from foamy wave to foamy wave
Giving the waves a reason to forcefully splash the shore
Splaying a spectrum of pastel colors in its spread
The brilliant sunlight explodes hues of color
Palm leaves appear greener than green
The dark of darkness disappears, but
The dark remains hidden in tomorrow
It always waits the dark is always there
Hiding in the crevices of the human soul
Often exposing demons
Frequently twisting inside the myriad twists of the thinking
But today the sun shows it is in control
Its heat makes my heart long for my love to be close
Hark! In the distance she appears her green eyes glowing staring at me
Looking resplendent, quietly she exposes her naturalness
My prayers are answered my happiness soars
She approaches me in all her gorgeous, natural splendor
My expectations are overwhelmed,
My woman knows me like no one else, she reaches to touch me
This is a woman made to make a man happy and I am that happy man.
