Enchanted Meadow

Sitting in the meadow grass,
I watch to see just what will pass
If I am quiet, also still.
A meadow lark begins to trill
His lovely song and soon I hear
A mourning dove, that's very near.
A rabbit hops along a trail
And suddenly, a flock of quail,
Come scurrying in single file,
Then stop to peck around awhile.
But soon they're off and I can see
None of these creatures noticed me!

I feel as if I am a part
Of soil and plants and I should start
To put down roots, so I could stay
To view this scenery every day.
One, with the bees and butterflies
And clouds that race across the skies,
The flowers scattered here and there,
With wind that ruffles up my hair.
The ground squirrels play here unafraid
Even with this nest I've made.
It's time for me to rise and go.
All this will stay with me I know,
Until I can return once more
To open up enchantment's door!

Dear Marge:  Thanks for the alert on the typo.  I proof read twice and missed it! Always makes me so disgusted with myself!

It's amazing what life you can see in a meadow, if you can sit still long enough.
Wish I could "traipse" your gardens!

Ron says "hi" back!

Love
Betty Lou

Dear Betty Lou

This is very enchanting indeed.  Coming from the city and all its smog, this was a breath of fresh air for me.
