I see you ...

Tiny flower, little snail, budding rose, new leaf;

I see your perfect shape, order, form, function and brief;

I see the way you are made, your beauty, colour and hue;

I take a picture in my mind to honour and remember you.

I hear you ...

Singing bird, croaking toad, river flow, fluttering breeze;

I hear the leaves above me rustling in the trees;

I trace your notes of joy, harmonies made to please;

I tune into your harmonic frequencies and feel at ease.

I smell you ...

Scent of Lavender, tree blossoms, resins, oils;

Rain on new grass, salty air, damp earthy soil;

I sense your essence, healing energy, unspoiled;

Breathing in your fragrance is a joy.

I taste you ...

Daisy flower, wild hazelnut, home-made soup and cake;

I know your value, natural nutrients made for my sake;

Savouring organic food is so good for our health;

Living close to Nature nurtures every aspect of Self.

I touch you ...

Spongy moss, old stone, tree bark, fine grains of sand;

I feel your texture, softness, roughness, strands;

I sink my feet into a cushion of lucious grass;

Running my hands over a stone wall covered in moss.

I feel you ...

Spider crafting your web, bird building your nest;

Waves ebbing and flowing, feeling alive and refreshed;

I honour your presence, the buzz of life unstressed;

I know I AM part of you, our lives together expressed.

I know you ...

My sense of awe in Nature's presence knows no bounds;

The synchronicities, the like with like, balance, calm;

The way you work in tandem with the moon and stars;

I appreciate your ingenuity, personality and charm.
