Swim These Fields

The trees expand right over the water Bringing awe, perfect brightness to the sound The free-flowing brook moves swiftly over Eyes can capture the young feelings abound I enjoy the emotion that’s around Loving of nature is proudly encased Moisture by the emanating fog's sound Towards a peaceful life that’s interlaced I will always go cherish this day here No other time nor place can sure compare And my heart will always exist right here Forever I will swim these fields and lairs Tenderly open your eyes towards me So when I come near, you can surely see Russell Sivey

very nice ending couplet, Russell and I really like the subject of your poem. Would love to find a brook like this and just jump right into it.

Nice one, Russell. Makes me long for summer. Especially liked the twelfth line... and there IS something about those braches reaching over the water... peace-giving. Cheers from Cyndi

Russell, BRILLIANT. I love the title, I love the synesthesia involved here. Such a beautiful way to capture what our emotions and feelings do when we encounter something lovely in nature. Thanks for sharing my friend.

You take me back to the country side with this and I begin to see the bamboo trees bending their heads on the river. I really enjoy this,and it really touches my childhood as a yokel.
