I love you dearly

why,

i love you dearly-

dearly as i love

the billowing gray steam

floating off cement

after a summer rain

as it is swirling swiftly 

to the murky cobalt heavens

it makes figures on the streets' many dancing men

dearly as i love

the velvety blue dark

glittering with gems

in the moonbeam's arc

critters always chirping

always a dog will bark

dearly as i love

sleeping by the sea

middle of the night

when you hear

the waves crashing

dearly as i love

the choir of katydids 

chirping behind 

the burning campfires of august

dearly as i love

the crisp air and scents

of bitter october nights and burning jack-o-lantern heads 

but none of these things could compare

there is just no possibility

there is nothing greater than the way i love you dearly

-l.r.

The scenes and sounds you've picked, they charm and depict it all, the way nature touches the heart to make you fall in love with it is the most beautiful feeling and love that surpasses even that has indeed to be the dearest. Lovely work!
