Countryside
The birds were flying home
Upon the setting of the sun,
The flowered track lead me back
To where it all begun.
Butterflies encircled
My hands could nearly touch-
The pretty little insects
I always loved so much.
Living in the moment
Though somewhere like a dream,
Hearing water rushing
From the local stream.
Exotic fruity floral notes
Tickled me to sneeze,
Citrus; lemon, tangerine
Made hungry with the breeze.
Famished from the journey
Steps became a stride,
Soon to see family through
The countryside.
They’ll be waiting round the mountain
After all those miles,
Welcoming loving arms and
The greatest smiles.

(1st stanza from The Love On Fire 9/19/20)
