This Morning As I Took a Walk

I thought of you

This morning as I took a walk
I heard birds singing in the pines,

and I thought of you.

I saw the new ferns
thrusting through the soil,

and I thought of you.

I took a deep breath
of green-scented air,

and I thought of you.

I watched a bright cloud
catch up with another,

and I thought of you.

Do you think, perhaps, next time
we might take a walk together?
