Ambience

The instinctive feeling about the beloved's presence. 2nd Place Inspirations Contest

Ambience

In the early autumn glow
When the late evening air
Softly stirred
The leaves
On the tree branches,
I heard them whisper
Your name.

When the crystal
Clear waves
Softly stirred
In the woody stream
I came awake to their lapping-
A sweet singsong
Cool and refreshing
Tilted me to your presence.

When a distant flute
Through thorn
And thicket
Wove its way
Into the labyrinths
Of my heart
Stirring my senses
And my soul
Oh so softly,

I ran down
The seven steps
That led me to you
My love
The be-all and end-all
Of my existence,
Of my million dreams!
