I Love

I love the way the light filters through trees

and how the ocean sounds at night

and my feet sinking into the earth

and bird song at sunrise

and how my name sounds on your breath

and my fingers dancing on the breeze

and water rushing down to a cold lake 

and the taste of real maple creemees

and how it feels to tumble into bed after a hike

and music blaring loud out car windows

 and the feeling of love between lifelong friends

and fears shared out loud

and learning of faraway places

and Earl Grey sipped on porches

and the sunrise

and the sunset

and watching stars falling

and birds flying north or south or west or east

and chocolate... lots of chocolate

and hugs that almost break bones

and tears of joy

and tears of sadness

and...
