You

Have you ever, wandered into, a sequestered meadow
Surrounded by trees and mountains
Where the passerine song birds, sang songs with no words
Indian paintbrushes, rose up, like red fountains
The orange day lilies, and butterfly weeds
Danced, with the light purple asters
Bold black eyed susans and multicolored lupines
Provided scenes, like paintings, of old masters

Did you feel the cool breeze, that tickled the leaves
Of the poplars, birches and oaks
Put off by the snow caps, as they melt and collapse
Then ski down the shadowy slopes
Or happen to look, when the clear snow melt brook
Rushed by, to the lake of, serenity
Did you feel the love, of Mother Nature's hug
And the awesomeness of it's, sublimity

To put words to a feeling, when the senses are reeling
Can be a difficult thing
Meadows sleeping with mountains,  flowery red fountains
With a breeze of tranquility
That's how I felt, when ice started to melt
Encasing my frozen heart
I'll never forget, when our paths first met
And you gave, my life, a jump start

A stunning "landscape" swirling of great love and beauty. Your tender words express a most idyllic place, where everyday worries fall by the wayside, clearing the way for a wondrous connecting of souls with nature as it's only witness. A lovely piece full of devotion to the joy of what together" really means. An absolute pleasure to read:-) blessings, lynn

Thank you so much Jo. You flatter me! Trying to describe a feeling to another person in descriptive words Can be a difficult thing, especially when your words are directed to that person. Sell but not over sell, you know. I enjoy your lovely visits and hope to see you soon.
