Just a poem, a random thought really, but whatever..it is more like a story actually, but hey, again, whatever. I wrote it for....nevermind

~The trees whispered in a chilling wind that spun upon the grasses. The land stretched to the far hills and beyond, tricking the eyes into forever. The last shadows that welcome the night just after sunset were beginning to thicken. As the valley stretched and the tree line towered, a lone plane floated overhead. Whizzing away into the far reaches of the sky, barely visible near the stars, it went, hurled to the air as if by a sullen hand that grasped the wings. A girl, lone and wandering, looked to the sky as the wind set to blow again, and the trees whispered, almost hauntingly in echoes recorded in eternity, of their parting good-bye. And as she lingered a bit longer and retreated slowly back into the woods beyond, the soft summer rains began to fall, signaling the first day of summer as her watch read dimly in the darkness 12:00. She shuddered at the coincidence. The wind tossed her hair into her eyes, and for a brief minute, if only a second's time, she thought she saw him; eyes set on her, soft and taken, face streaked with an air of sadness and forlorn longing. Then, as if a dream had lifted a veil she removed the small strands of hair and he too vanished, like the clouds of a lightning storm does when it has only a moment left to make itself memorable. She uttered a soft sigh of pain, but crept on in the forest tromping on the soggy leaves that lay from the pelting rain and wind. Slowly, so slowly the ears could barely catch it, a voice, his voice rose with the last winds that blew the storm away. She turned, a smile and an answer rising within her but she answered just as the winds stopped. Yet, she could not help but smile at those words: "I'll wait."
