Second Place

Follow Me

follow me into a lush dreamy jungle
dripping, steamy and sultry
I am one with nature and with a drifting green stream
and the soft moss and the wet ferns
                    follow me . . . 
and float in tranquility
beneath us water reeds sway and roll
oh, so many hues dwelling in harmony
juniper, sage, olive, blue, pine, blue, purples and pinks
see the sweet emerald green of a little frog 
small little yellow fish kiss our toes
                  follow me . . . 
  a lovely pink flower dips into the green stream
          an orange snake slithers quietly
    a purple butterfly flutters by
                         a blue bird sings sweetly
      green twining vines meander in the dark foliage
        my sage eyes whisper
                  fall into the lush depths with me
I will take you to a world full of utter peace
where all beautiful shades of nature, mingle and entwine
                                    follow me . . .

What a lovely invitation! I wish to follow you into the heart of this verdant jungle where umpteen scenes await and dulcet songs wait to titillate the ears! Beautiful, Constance.
