Nothing But Poppies

Crepuscular rays of light,
Shining through
This canopy of clouds,
Near by, this road to Oz
Nothing but this field of
Poppies, sweet aromatic
Orange-yellow poppies,
As we drown in this
Spell of deep sleep

Beautiful images that bring back memories of the movie. Rest well in the deep sleep of the poppy field, Gregory. Love, Carolyn
