i.With just my wandering thoughts leading me
My steps brought me here
To the greenery and the flowing waters
To where it all began
ii. Here underneath tall trees and gentle breezes
We began an adventure meant only for the strong of heart
You took to this journey w/ all the gusto and enthusiasm
That you rode the zipline with across the stream
iii. I remember the boatride,
All the effort I put into rowing that little dingy
As you cheered on others who took the plunge
Love overflowing,
your emotions echoed through the watershed
iv. but it had to come to this
like trees felled after the passing of storms
some relationships break in the midst of troubles
creeks once driven by rushing waters
can dry up and become as barren and empty
as a feeling devoid of affection
v. and we find out that flowers lose their bloom
with the passing of every summer
the rains come and we are left
hiding indoors in the misery of our loss
vi. yet we know that soon the deluge of tears
will eventually cease
and we shall venture out again
to a completely different world
vii. thicker vegetation, a variety of plants
promising to bloom and bear fruit,
where colourful flowers will once again
line the walkways and paint the scenery
with happiness
viii. as I turn to leave, imprinting in my memory
the beauty of this place,
like the passing of the seasons, I know
this heart too will endure..
