The Meadow

by Michael

There’s a gently sloping
meadow
of
scarlet and ivory
wildflowers
where I often go to
sit and think.

In the distance is a
lake
where I sometimes
skip stones,
or just
cool my feet.

The water is almost always
still
and
mirrors the clouds
and surrounding landscape.

On either side
are
small mountains,
covered
in old growth
fir and spruce trees.

As the sun sets,
shadows
from these forests
come running
on stealthy feet
and cloak the meadow’s
colors in different
shades of night.

It is then
that the lake
becomes a
watery heaven
and all of the
stars
are within my reach.

I love sunsets so much I often forget the colors of the night and the beauty they bring. *S* This is lovely!
