Love Remembered

Loves shadow lies long on the ground

It hugs against grass like a lost caress
I went back today to our special place
And sat on the ground under the trees
In the warm air within that silent bower
On a soft, mossy carpet of greensward
I felt your embrace upon me once again
And in the fragrant meadowsweet haze
I smelt your skin on mine and so briefly
The temperate breath of day made you real
