Premiere Contest WinnerCloud Nine Anytime

My darling spot is a grassy hill,
Where I go to hear the bluebirds thrill,
Sometimes in mauve marigold dawn morn,
As waking dreams are in stillness born!
Other times to taste hot noonday bliss,
Sweeping me off to the clouds' abyss,
Of red sunsets, or nights after nine.
That time's my accomplice, is just fine-
With nature dancing its borderlines!

The trill of bluebirds chirping is a sound worth remembering. My dad built a picnic table round a tree on the far side of our lot with benches. I used to love to sit there and enjoy nature at work. Beautiful piece. Congrats!
