As the sun rose above the mountains this morning its golden rays shivered -
- snow was lying deeply and looked as fresh as a newly iced wedding cake
Even the normally green and grey mountains seemed to have lost their crispness
While uncaring dark clouds unzipped their snowflakes and spread more chaos around them.
I am glad you don't have to drive that way my Orchid as the roads would be terribly icy
Worried frowns would live on my face and remain there through the long hours of today
Thank goodness your roads are clear as my heart has called out for your heart to keep you safe
Little did I realise when we found each other; our hearts would blush at their meeting and hold hands.
As I look across the meadow to the forest I see the trees laden with a thick layer of white
There is no movement from your animals and a strange silence is creeping through the air
Sweetheart, if I knelt down on my knees would you stay home with me today and bring this house alive?
Orchid Lady I know the forest with its trees and animals will be so sad not to see you walking with me.
No doubt as I leave the titbits of food you have asked me to give them, not one of your furry friends will be there
I shall never understand what it is about you that brings gladness and broad smiles to the faces of your friends
Sweetheart, I have a love of Nature also but it seems as if you are the only person who can share her love with the forest
How I wish you were here with me as I feel so lost without my angel by my side and wish you were holding my hand.
Is it wrong of me to miss you so much? Is it wrong for me to think of you as I wander aimlessly along pathways?
This morning I am going to stop at the wishing well and pour my heart out to it; then see if my one wish comes true
When I arrive at the wooden bridge - as I stand there I shall stare at the placid water in the hope of seeing your face
Perhaps the water lilies will stay closed today as if to blame me for your absence and remain in their slumber.
Sweetheart, suddenly I feel something seems to be troubling you - I can sense that you are feeling unhappy today -
- I am here for you and I shall go home immediately and try to contact you -
- Where would my world go to without you beside me?
Orchid Lady I need you more than you will ever know.
