Through Flowered Fields

Through flowered fields, I walked today,
To where the land just falls away.
There lies a canyon, deep and wide,
That separates the countryside.
The drafts of air, that slowly rise,
Bear red-tailed hawks, into the skies.
I listened to their piercing cries.
They looked at me with raptor's eyes!

I stayed awhile to watch them soar.
Then, like a ship beyond the shore,
I drifted down the rim-rock, so,
I could enjoy what lay below
And all the blossoms, blooming bright.
The canyon filled with somber light
And as the day to nighttime yields,
I headed home, through flowered fields!

another delicious flight my dear...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

The imagery was amazing in this piece...I could feel myself there, taking everything you wrote into my heart. Truly a beautiful writing. You're very talented and I will await more from you...

Hello Betty Lou

I am so glad that this stunning piece of writing was published.  You are so deserved of such recognition and you should be so proud of the joy your words bring to others, like myself.

Take care........Sue

I'm anchored in you
