You, Me & our Maple Tree

I sat under a maple tree,
Trying to write a poem
Setting my mind free,
Jotted down a few words,
Suddenly they wiggled and juggled
Rising high in air like birds.

♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥                                      I looked up in awe,
♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥                         Looking at the words in the air,
♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥                      Couldn’t believe in what I saw,
   ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥                          They fluttered around my head,
♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥                          Making teeny weeny moves,
♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥                   Then ordered like beads in a thread.

Fast and smooth they went,
Carrying my thoughts to you,
Like the messenger I’ve sent,
I attached a loving kiss to its tail,
Sending my love to you,
To reach you, zoom they'll sail.

♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥      Even the words knew how much I miss you,
      ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥              It flew up and high, into the fluffy clouds,
   ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥               This kind of longing for you isn’t new,
♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥             A maple leaf came swooping down on me,
♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥       Then I realized that the words still lay here
♡♥   ♡♥   ♡♥                      Only after the leaf fell on my knee.

This tree has lots of memories to remind,
Fresh among it was the last time we kissed,
It always gave shade like a friend so kind,
Now am sitting alone, wishing that you were here,
To accompany me and this friendly tree,
Come back soon to talk, laugh and cheer.

This poem and its presentation is absolutely lovely .. such beautiful emotions wrapped in your words! There's a sadness to it at the end but somehow I feel there's a sweet smiling future ahead.

One of your best .. one of your many best. :)
