she walks along the worn path through the woods
a trail she has traveled many times in the past.
passing by towering Oak trees
breathing in the fresh pine
Stepping on to the old bridge
that runs across the rushing stream
she stops near the end
and brushes her fingertips
along the wood where the names
Henry and Alice are carved.
at the top of a small hill
is where she stops.
and on an old log
is where she sits.
a heavy sigh comes over her
and she smiles
while the bright spring sun
starts to disappear beneath
the tall tall trees.
the gentle wind blows
to kiss her wrinkled cheek
and to bring the sweet smell
of Jasmine and Magnolias.
A leaf falls from a nearly bare tree.
Yellow in color,
she picks it up
and studies it for a brief while.
"my time here is over Henry."
she says quietly.
she lays down in the soft,cool grass.
closes her eyes.
"ill soon be with you, ive missed you so much."
she takes on more deep breath
as the last leaf falls from the naked tree
and the sun drifts out of sight.
she's home.
