Beneath the Sky and Tree

A patch of grass beneath the spread

of leafy arms had charm enough for just 
the one to sit and rest a spell, 
melt into earth as breeze and shade
of trees and lake held back the midday heat.
But still, as pleasant as it was for one,
the one would always rather while away
such moments as not one alone but one of two
forms underneath the branches, lost not
in quiet contemplation, wrapped instead
in concentration on the other's sleepy laugh,
arms and legs there intertwined.
