       This is a combination of a poem written
                    by myself,
              "Meet Me in the Meadow"
  with a beautiful poetic response by Bill Charles,
              "I Met You in the Meadow"
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
         We hope you enjoy our duet, as....
           together, they are complete...

    (Meet Me....)

  Meet me in the meadow..
  Just before the dawn..
  Chases evening shadows..
  and lights the path you're
          on....

                              (I Met You....)

                       I came there just at dawn..
                       Down to your lovely meadow..
                       When the morning mist was
                                 lifting..
                       And the deep blue sky was
                                 all aglow....

    (Meet Me....)

  I'll be waiting for you..
  By the trickling stream..
  Over by the arch..Two..
  Weeping Willows lean....

                              (I Met You....)

                       I could see you waiting there
                       Sitting you were, just like
                                 a pose..
                       But all I could see was ruby
                                 red lips..
                       That reminded me, of one
                                sweet rose....

    (Meet Me....)

  There among the flowers..
  I'll lay our blanket down..
  We can stay for hours..
  No one is around....

                              (I Met You....)

                        I called and you turned..
                        Your smile was as big as
                                 the sea..
                        And we lie together on that
                                 blanket..
                        Embracing, just you and me..

    (Meet Me....)

  Soft and gentle breezes..
  O'er our bodies play..
  It touches and it teases..
  Sweeps our cares away....

                              (I Met You....)

                        I felt that gentle breeze
                                 blowing..
                        Watching it flow, through
                             your pretty hair..
                        It touched me and I felt it
                        And our bodies became
                                   aware....

    (Meet Me....)

  We could love forever..
  If we lived in rhyme..
  Parting would be never..
  Captives for all time....

                               (I Met You....)

                         Ah yes, I could love you
                                 forever..
                         For you are a lovely,
                              green eyed gypsy..
                         However, not in rhyme
                               it would be..
                         But would rather always,
                              be passionately....

    (Meet Me....)

  So, meet me in the meadow..
  Just before the light..
  Maybe gypsy magic..
  Will cast it's spell
      ~~Tonight~~

                               (I Met You....)

                         So, I did meet you in your
                                  meadow..
                         And it didn't matter, if
                             it was day or night..
                         Because I tasted your gypsy
                                   magic..
                         Having your softness, and
                                   your
                                ~~Delight~~

  Once again, my heartfelt thanks to Bill Charles..
                for his touch of magic!

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to thank all of you for your wonderful comments about this writing that Sunny and I have done.

And Sunny, if you hadn't written the first part, I would have not written the part that made your writing complete. Thanks Sunny, this one meant an awful lot to me.
