I met you

I walk out to meet you

To the edge

Where the water meets the dock

My feet hover above crisp morning ripples

Your face lights up, green with life

Leafy spotted shadows wink at me

I shut my eyes

And smile

Your arms stretch out, gentle with warmth

A fiery yellow embraces my body

I fold my hands under my chin

And inhale

Your voice sings a lullaby, a tinkling chime

Chirping from treetops swoops into my ears

I stop talking

And listen

You stood before me

You walked beside me

You settled behind me

You besieged me when I met you
