above tomorrow

sunlight shining through old growth woods

a hilltop kiss
above old creek wending,
tangled of vale

all grains gone gold
in autumn hours with
a sun hung low

burning within, without
you whisper a secret
for me to keep

my head on your breasts,
slumber come tomorrow

    Makes me think of looking down over a past that has been (willingly) left behind.

      I can see that. Maybe not so willingly… Time and memories are weird.
