A beautiful silence spoke through us Flower blossoms found their confidence and peeked out from their buds The trees giggled as we wandered across the chilled meadow The Wilderness screamed for our attention Our feet were bare as our footsteps lingered on the soft carpet of grass A charade of birds glided swiftly through the frost filled air The outraged mountains rose to their full height and called us to a war The wind danced to a love song We were met with the delight that bestowed each of us His hand was fastened in mine His lips were painted in eagerness His arms were wrapped adoringly around my back A lovely contentment swarmed around us A blissful trust was setting in stone It was a phantom, a mystery All of the wild stared in impatience His eyes were an ocean and the fear of a freezing fall suddenly crashed over the edge In a split second, the wilderness was within me No longer could I see the leaves flapping in the wind No longer were the birds dancing throughout the sky They were deep inside me There was a fluttering in my stomach I heard the faraway yet intoxicating roar of a lion, but this time, the trembling came from within me I heard the echoing laughter of the royal oak trees Butterflies swam around in the oasis of my eyes The magic of it all was electrifying It was a blatant yet beautiful chapter in a book My eyelids dropped and my mindlessly blue eyes were a storm of delight It was an illegal love, but a love nonetheless The wild was within me, and for once, my mind was a novel A love story (I wrote this a few months ago, but I thought that it kinda worked with the prompt, so I pulled it out, dusted it off, and changed a few parts, I hope y’all like it!)
