The Giving Thieves

I dreamt

of trees

along the trail

who's leaves stole

the words

escaping our lips.

They held our breathless banter

poised. Waiting.

And from the bridge

of a would be rainy kiss

we stood

when the colors peaked

and you let me I confiscate

with my eyes a reflection

in yours

of leaves like words...

these silent

words between us,

descending

to the ground.

A blanket of color

nourishing the soil

from which they came.

Giving~

sustaining

the life

in the midst of

you and I.



And now I wake to the day late rain washing the sleep from my eyes and I ask it...

"Why did you take so long?"
