Blue Fields of Wild Indigo

blue fields of wild indigo
 	
chirping red robins
bobbing house wrens
 
perched high 
sing a soft lullabye
 
as the black mother hen
fluffs her fresh nest of twigs 
to lay her speckled eggs
 
the first leg of lady spring is here
her sweetest scent is floating in the air
with the buzzing bumble bees
 
the white aura of this virgin beauty
flows like a river 
in a brisk breeze through our hair
 
not long before she disappears 
and the first tender sprouts of 
july rye will appear
 
come on
lets run through 
the blue fields of wild indigo
where the quarterhorses roam
 
we'll play with the 
frisky spotted fawn until sundown
 
while we're young and free
lets live like gods until dawn
 
sowing our oats in the sun's glory
until we need our coats of down
on a dead of winter morning
