While I sit upon the deck

Watching songbirds hunt and peck

Wishing your hand was in mine

Close my eyes with heartbeat pine

Watch a rabbit's hopping lope

Stops to feed on green hill's slope

Need you here to laugh and talk

Your voice makes my body rock

Feel the breeze caress my face

Watching chipmunks run and race

Wish the breeze was fingertips

Holding me close while you nip

Watching green leaves dance and twirl

Rain clouds floating in a swirl

Miss your body twined in mine

As our bodies shake and shine

As the raindrops start to fall

Clouds burst open like a bawl

Brush away a single tear

Wishing you were very near
