Like The Sun In The Sky, You Are My Life

The trees rustle overhead
Birds chirp in the sunshine
Your hand twines through mine
Your smile lights me up
The river babbles in a brook
New plants peek from soft earth
Your laugh is my life
Your arms encircle me, lovingly
Metal rusts in the rain
Trees burn in forest fires
Your eyes get hard
Your words are spikes
The air is polluted
Summers spent without rain
Your feet walk away
Your path never crossing mine
again
