You and I were on our way somewhere.
It was an afternoon of dark, wet skies and
Thunder booming all around.
Our hearts were excited by the storm
Our hearts were excited by the storm
We pulled off at a curve in the road,
Stepped over a low, wire fence
And walked into a field to smell the sage.
Even now I feel my goose bumps and shivers,
The cold, heavy rain that pounded my skin
The bright flashes that electrified the air
But it was the glorious scent of
Rain-soaked sage that filled my senses.
I looked at you, you were smiling back at me.
We reflected delight to each other, utter joy in
That beautiful place, at that perfect moment.
I see the light in your eyes now, the pleasure in your face.
I feel our radiance, our vitality, our shared bliss.
I loved you then, as I loved that place and time.
The smell of sage for me contains this memory.
The scent is lovely on it’s own.
But for me, it will always be more.
