I WONDER AS I WANDER

As the second year commences

The beauty of the trees engulf my senses

I close my eyes as your face appears in my mind

Like the trees, so giving of themselves and kind

Never, ever will I leave your side

Hide...

Not... the feeling of joy

Like the purchase of a special toy

Forever that memory of first sighting

Bright, new, different, enlightening

The gargantuan happiness you give me...

No longer to the eye we can see....

As your world invisible but you are here

Like the redness of the trees, your aura does sear

Into my view

Just as strong

As I walk along

The forest path

I hath

No fear or worry that forever at your creativity I wonder

As I wander

Wendy England sent me a wonderful painted picture for me the day of the first anniversary of Ellie Day's passing and James Newby the baritone's new album is called the same so perfect for picture and poem.
