Blackberry Harvest

Skipping
   with rust streaked pails
      through knee-high foxtails
         bending to brush away 
            white powdery puffs of dandelions
               gazing
                  wistfully back
                sighing with content
             unaware, unassuming
          falling
       through blue cotton clouds
     faint calls in the distance
   guiding, reassuring
in earnest search of wild bounty

Delectable treasures 
   waiting for angels 
      to gently release
         brilliantly dark
            perfectly tart
               compelling aromas
                  winding
               drifting 
            pulling 
         towards firm green tendrils 
       painting
     paths to fragrant blooms
   nestled comfortably
in peaceful anticipation

Sparkling emeralds and sapphires
   with soft golden spirals
      encircling
         bright cherub smiles
            with eager sun-kissed hands
               brushing the wind
                   stretching 
                straining
             reaching
          marveling 
       at simplicity
    with silver-lined buckets
  whistling in harmony
plucking rich harvest dreams
