~
As the sun rises over the city
We sit
(some distance between us)
Breathless
From climbing the hill
We take it all in
As the sky brightens
Cold, fresh air
Dew drops on the grass
Surrounding us
The tree, a few feet away, so still
Dark, forbidden
We both breath it in
Watching people leave their houses
To go to work
Just another day
As the afternoon heat rises
We sit under the tree
Now warm and inviting
Sounds can be heard all around
Sounds of dogs barking
Children playing
Rings in our ears
But as you put your head on my shoulderAll sounds turn mute.
