A Peaceful I Love You

An early outing for my friend and I We walked the winding path down to the springs The uncut winter hay is now waist high And in the morning breeze it softly sings Red Indian paintbrushes are in bloom As are the downy phlox and dogwood trees How sweet the smell of birth in nature's womb Attracting butterflies and honey bees The passerine song birds are in full throat While woodpeckers and sap suckers keep time Mid air, white cotton hayseeds gently float So gracefully they dance their pantomime And in that moment, in the tarnished hay The gurgling springs still hidden from my view With nature's springtime beauty on display I heard her say a peaceful. "I love you" by Daniel Turner

Daniel, There are so many positive, beautiful responses that I find the only thing can add is the line from a movie -"Ditto". There is not enough adjectives to describe the beauty of what you have written. I admire the way your mind puts ordinary words into such gorgeous perspective.
