Flax Field In Alberta

FLAX FIELD IN ALBERTA Suddenly out of the blue we come by A lazuline flax field under the cloudless indigo sky, Filled to overflowing with perfume dry. In the steady warm air, the smell of linens And the small delicate petals’ nutty fragrance. As the breeze pushes lazy waves into motion In a summer Alpine lake azure , we are on A magic carpet afloat, a billowing pale blue blanket upon A waist-deep ocean: each blue bloom a tiny sapphire. We want to dive and swim in this ultramarine cloud entire.
