While strolling by the lavender
her smile kept its place,
as lovely as a butterfly
afloat upon her face
She skipped as to a melody

A profusion of serpents swimming
Wriggling from shore to shore
Skimming stone takes four hops
causing rings to widen
Circles created by the hand of man

grew next to each other, in the Kentucky meadow.
Communicating through squirrel squeaks
Bird beeps, and the whistle of the wind
