Coming Upon A Clearing

Coming Upon A Clearing

In this place, this clearing
    Void of infringing noises
    Removed from cluttering filters that make twilight of midday
    Free from creeping cares, stagnant puffs of sweat and grime
Here, I find a momentary respire
    Unencumbered rays of clarity
    Stark recollections of brisk caresses
     Echoes of nocturnal whispers and sweat cooled skin
In this place, I am assaulted
    By the beautiful agony
    Of the absence
    Of you
