One

Do you remember
that day
we walked through
the overgrown trails
together
you pulled aside
the thorn branches
for me
you held my hand
so i would not fall
while staring up
at the leaves
like stars
in the day-time
sky
we didn't say
anything
in the quiet
i heard your
heart racing
i heard the stream
and the wind
in the trees
i heard your thoughts
tune into mine
we were
as one
