Path to Her

the smile in her eyes
his invitation to her
takes his breath away

Path to Her

A walk alone through the woods
No sign of a trail to follow ahead
No particular destination in mind
His mind wanders with possibility

And then their paths meet
Yes, then their paths meet
His mind is at play, he knows
But, he wanders deeper within

She gives him a mischievous grin
Her knowing look of what’s to come
Tongue stuck out – and off she dances
His invitation to chase…

After a couple of darts through trees
She slows up just enough … and smiles
He tackles her with a kiss on the nose
Her giggles take his breath away

A sudden rustle of leaves …
Brings his mind back … he is alone
Yet, she is forever within him now
And he smiles at the possibilities

He knows he will walk
Through these woods again
With no sign of a trail to follow
He knows the path to her now

And one day … it will be real
