here and there

it was with an edgy silence

that they walked the green
with all the heather scented
opened into a wider space
where melon sky consumed 
the voices
that laughter rose
heavy fog caressed the hills
found her curves and valleys
sways the windswept oak
s

how yellow the blanket grass
makes stand the dotted green
there with that loving goes
two such fragile hearts frame
a scene from Juliet’s garden
even the moon went pale
