Wanted Poster:

by Scott Cole   Feb 15, 2016


On a windless driven day
When all whispers are down,
And nothing of the forest
Is making a sound.

Right then and only then
Will you hear such a story,
Of a sweet little girl
And nice little boy.

A happy boy and girl
Was in nothing but love,
Each carved their name
With a big heart above.

When sugarplums of yonder
Danced in our heads,
Where our memories still live
In the bark of the dead.

Where all the little birdies
Heard our promises within,
Saw all of our kisses
Hit nothing but skin.

A tree finally does turn
And slowly starts to squat,
Shows off all his markings
Thats on a favorite spot.

Points to his right branch
Just a small little clue,
Where that boy and that girl
Left his only tatoo.

As the story dies down
The wind and its swirl,
But hangs a wanted poster
Of a boy and his girl.
