Joan McNerney

ALMOST

As if you could come so swiftly
unnoticed like butterflies tapping
wild flowers with soft yellow wings.

Appearing before me quietly
while morning mist curls through
coolness of mint-green spring.

You walking over roads through
fields where tree shadows make
heavy slants against the sun.

As alive as day...saying my name...
filling me up with the taste of you...
kissing my mouth awake again.

By touch and whisper how we would
imitate long leaves weaving, undulating
and finally surrendering to silence.
