Autumn Breeze

the thin translucent curtains dance
on the strong breeze blowing into
my loft
i watch how they ride and swirl,
moving like the sea -
the air is cool and clean
a pleasant change from the turbidity
of the city

trees move in harmony with
the wind, it occurs to me that this sense
is taken for granted by locals
but for a city dweller
it’s heaven

i watch u approach up the track
ur hair flowing on the wind
u sense my perception and lift ur head, fix
ur eyes on mine and smile,
distance becomes meaningless,
nothing exists that is able to separate us or
break the bond of our love

it seems i have known u before time began,
u are more familiar to me than i am to myself

i hear ur bare feet running up the wooden stairs
and turn in time to catch u in a reassuring embrace,
words fail as our lips press together

it’s just another perfect day with you,
the autumn breeze and everything
