New Poem!

Ok, it's actually not new. I wrote it last April, but it's a little different from the kinds of poems I'm used to writing, so I was a little afraid to share it. But here it is - so be nice to it! :)

I walked to the edge of the sea,

And dipped my toes in the surf.

Touching the ocean is (to me)

Something like tasting a dream.

I crept up and sat by a lark,

Memorized its tremulous strains.

Hearing its song, even in part,

Is something like seeing through the dark.

I lay down beneath a pine,

Observed the branches and boughs.

Following each twisted vine,

Is something like tasting good wine.

I knelt beside a rose,

Closed my eyes and breathed.

Smelling such perfume, so close,

Is something like inhaling a poem.

I gathered courage to hold your hand,

To feel the softness of your fingers; which,

Intertwined together as we stand,

Look something like a wedding band.
