In a picture
you may not be able
to see the shadows
of the leaves sway,
but if you try
you can still imagine the feel
of the breeze on your face.
In a picture
you will not know
the grass
is cool to the touch,
but if you try
you can imagine the feel
of the blades between your toes.
In a picture
you may not notice the hammock
where we whiled away
that August day,
but if you try
you can imagine the feel
of the world swaying beneath us.
In this picture
you may not see me leaning against
the tree, searching the clear
sky for answers,
but if you try,
you can imagine the feel
of your lips on mine once more.
