walking together
in a meadow of yellow
buttery cowslips

filled with the humming of bees
honey-sweet as a first kiss

a crown of petals
daisy-chained by our fingers
dusty with pollen

trails on the summer breeze
snags in overhanging leaves

knee-deep in grasses
on the edge of the meadow
our fingertips touch

with an exchange of pulses
our heartbeats are synchronised

love bloomed with summer
a shift of light and fragrance
zephyrs and blue skies

the whispering of grasses
and overhanging leaves

cloudy horizon
a warning of a deluge
the azure sky slips

an unexpected North wind
tears the daisy crown away

the end of summer
a shadow on the meadow
creeps through the cowslips

our fingertips slip apart
and our heartbeats syncopate
