The Winds of Dawn

Morningtide reverberates, the songstress calls,
buoyant curlews play in oceans of copious grass,
wave after wave shattering against dry stone walls,
meadows dance the rhythm of the farmers weatherglass,
implementing the orchestration from moortop squalls.

Your imagery is captivating, Harry! Reminds me of the fields sprawled around my grandfather's windmill, as seen from the top. ~ Regards // paul

You could be describing our prairies. The wheat blowing in the fields looks like ocean waves.
