Over in the Garden

I had internet issues again this morning.  Augh... This is a poem for The Imaginary Garden~ 
This is for Hannah's challenge!  Thank you Hannah :D @>-------------

Lost in a trance 

as the sun bids adieu

my day inked
with outstretched lines

I follow the silver path home

birch arms

guide
me

a frosted chill

penetrates my mood

I see him

with his black cap

embracing the knife sharp wind

he tilts and shakes his cap

his dark eyes dance

wait

Gentle frozen stars

fall

he rounds the corner

I follow

nature's ballet continues

her dance collects like

crystallized dust 

sticky like

Gesso

He moves on

I round the corner

oh, he is meeting her

Her olive coat covers 

a gorgeous white gown

she shakes off the fairy dust and

gracefully glides towards him

they hover for a moment

lost in their 

own
 world

Together huddled 

by the Myrtle bushes

watching the fragile kisses 

of ice fall

fall and collect
on 

Mother Nature's

tweed blanket

I look
on 

 Embedded in tenderness

they snuggle closer

I try to take snap a photo

they see me

and lurk as 

I stand still

waiting, watching

their dark eyes stare at me

in absolute
quiet

I freeze

hoping to expose

their beauty

a dog up ahead on the path

barks

they are gone

they disappear

into the spell binding

weather

I stand alone

sorry I missed

them

then I hear their call

a reminder of their
love

chick-a-dee-dee-dee
