Young lovers stand before the waters
hands linked
hearts entwined.
Silence fills the air, and words,
words, they are—unnecessary.
The cool waters protrude gently upon the shore-
as the forrest’s inhabitants, pardon the couple’s intrusion.
Much time has passed, and they begin to egress.
Mentally, they recall their former selves-
where nature painted yet another perfect portrait,
to display amongst a cluttered shelf.
