There Is Nothing Lovelier

There is nothing lovelier

Than walking in a park

And when you are

No longer present

The trees are there

Their leaves still sing

And I pretend

You hear.

There is nothing lovelier

Than gazing up to the moon -

When waxing on

She shines on me

And I pretend

You see.

There is nothing lovelier

Than waking up in bed

Embraced by welcome body warmth

Soft touches of your lips -

The moon and stars together meld

Make heaven in my heart

And I pretend

My dream's come true

There is nothing lovelier

Than you.
