Carousel

we sat beneath
the flickering shade
of a willow tree.
      you're a sprinter,
       you said,
       a burst of energy, of light,
       sunbeams work overtime
       to spotlight your ​f​light.
the sun winks
between the leaves.
         so, won't you run
         with me?
        i ask.
and the breeze swoops in
to tousle each spindly limb.
       i am in no rush,
       you say.
yellow leaves flutter
to the grass below,
​tiny dancing shadows,
kissing
 our toes.
      i feel each step,
       thankful for the wind's hush.
you lean against the trunk
and watch the​ wild​
 wind
twirl billowy branches
like a carousel.
         you smile.
         i dance.
you dig your toes
dow​n like the
 roots below -
perhaps to feel Her heartbeat
that keeps the tempo
while i​ dash
dancing​ like​
limbs,
                   reaching        
           back 
to 
you.
