Kansas, Inclined

dead centered of north, east
south and west
she lies in wait

a lady in recline
bellybutton hidden by
Smoky Hills, she waits

to reveal mysteries
of curves and valleys,
hills and
flat lands, she waits

to beguile you with lush
green grasses waving to you,
come soon,
to her full skies skirted with
clouds, dancing,

she does not give you deserts,
but reminds you of them,
nor does she give you
mountains’ peak,
but takes you to them

she holds secreted myriad
blue pools and hide-away falls
letting wonders show
why mushroom rocks grow
or why her skies
mesmerize,

she’s a kaleidoscope,
see her twirl on contrails
that write from east to west
and back again,

stare north,
feel Canada come
on the wind,
gaze south, smell the
gulf breeze
bring the gulls

she whispers to you
through
cottonwood memories

bloodlines course
through grasses glistening
with golden hair…

she calls the man home,
he comes,
often,
standing under her blue,
over her green,
breathes her in
like liquid sun, she
makes him shiver
with a wave of breeze
and sweats him out
easily, so
in quiet awe, he holds her
in reverence
and with faith…

she’s a lady in recline,
inclined, that you
come skirt her memories,
dust yourself with
yesterday
and
find yourself again

And the lady would be proud of her captures articulation

You have a unique way of so engrossing the reader, falling in love with your surroundings...
Such beautiful whimsical music with which you shower us
Touches of spiritual, almost depicting our modern times with ancient lovers of nature

you take me to all the places you see
And I love the views through your eyes

Thank you Karilea

So descriptive! What a marvelous look at Kansas.
Don’t need a map at all.

You should send this to your state legislators
This should qualify as “The Official Kansas State Poem.”

Enjoyed!!

This is, of course by now the theme for Kansas yes? If not, what are they waiting for?

Extremely lovely sweet lady.

Excellent. I love the images and the linking.

Maybe this is the one occasion when you dont take your hat off, in bed.
