Lyndsey Johnson
i will meet you in the woods
you will find me at sundown
we can sit on felled trees
and breathe crisp air that smells of fresh grass and autumn leaves
we will sit, and we will take each other in
your elegance, your grace, my power
my ideas, my story, your existence
words exchanging like so many spores and seeds and feathers in the air
you will show me who you are and the depth with which you care
no longer me, alone, hoping to stumble upon a discovery, sign, any little clue
but you, rejoicing in being discovered
reveling in the joy of being seen
just me as me
and you as you
