Rietvlei

Birds giggled and played

As ancient giants stood in glory.

And the golden grass swayed

As the earth told its story .

The sun sank into a slumber

As the stretching sky blanketed it.

And all of life was humbled

As much as it was celebrated.

Our passions poured

As we let the world in.

Our souls sang and soared,

And you looked at me with a knowing grin.

As all of life that day did flow,

And we were one with life’s eternal glow.
