Nature,
in her exquisite adornment,
peels back the layers
of all that is tenuous in my heart,
laying me bare.
She gently caresses my face
with her mist,
laughing me a rainbow,
tossing my hair about.
Blowing me kisses,
she beckons me to stay outside,
and play with her . . .
just a little while longer. . .
To skip and dance
upon the sweetness
of her cool damp earth.
Dripping wet,
shaking with ecstasy,
finding my way home
by the light of the moon,
shyly peeking through silver veils.
