Calm, bucolic smells waft along the warming air
as birds flit and flurry in the vapoured light,
sandstone stout and stoic
holds water
better than any argument,
so quiet this pastorale
a place of beauty and refuge
midst the maddening world,
yet no true sanctuary
without you.

I have felt this juxtaposition – to be in a place of awe and wonder, and at the same time longing for the one you wish you could share it with. Beautiful
