Lupines Are In The Meadow

Flowers are the music of the ground, from earth’s lips spoken without sound. ~ Edwin Cerran

Lupines are in the meadow, 
speaking poetry of nature;
the breeze directing purple allegretto
for every forest neighbor.

My love shall we go walking
in golden warmth of summer,
with the flowers softly talking
in notes of every color?

Shall we then lay down and slumber
in the sweet grass and the flower,
where cares do not encumber
and dreams become our bower?

There we will surrender to the breeze
and drift on lupine's purple frieze.

This is a vibrant poem of summer at its best. I enjoy the sonnet style with the peaceful summer lethargy in the last lines. Good luck.
