Take me to this place…

How best to comply?

It is not simple, wanting you here
with me,
where they say simply,

harvest will be early this June

anticipating ever green growth
of heads already bending with mass
from which will spring
more than bread
and cakes, noodles and beer

how best to describe how gold floats,
rustling like a fine church
dress, calling to the man and woman

this is your cathedral today…

how best to comply?


Somehow, if you open your arms wide,
lift your face to the sun,
close your eyes,
sway with the wind,

let the heat permeate your spirit,

your feet will lift from the ground
your arms will feel stretched
your spirit, refreshed,

and you will grow
and glow

like gold.


She asked, take me to this place

I am trying,

and someday I may succeed.

May love and light always shine upon you!

===============================

trust me dear poetess of the sun...
you succeeded...you took us there...and its very very warm.

... and I don't know why ...
Why should love come down and just sweep me away
I want to fly ... but there are so many things in my way.

Been there..but this was even more beautiful..than the largest quilted wheat field, outlined with sunflowers, meeting those flint hills..because you dedicated the sky to a friend..Precious you.

Sincerely,
Reg

in a field of golden wheat
'neath an autumn sun
I am born again

"how best to describe how gold floats,"

Like fairy dust....

This is really spiritual.... so ethereal
And reminds me that summer is coming,
I can almost smell the fragrances..

Very well done.

let the heat permeate your spirit,

your feet will lift from the ground
your arms will feel stretched

Lovely imagery that gently lifts the spirit. Enjoyed.
