Spring Meadow An astonishing clarity and fragrant peace chase wisps of ephemeral mist through this lovely, deep-spring morning meadow, as they skirt the edge of a vanishing wilderness... Here is gentle, lambent truth far too precious to squander. --- b. e. adams (3/25/2009) |

makes me think of Yosemite, I used to live less than an hour from there and it was stunning beauty, just like this poem of yours!! |

I 'write' real places ... and you made a perfect choice of geographic locale (grand Yosemite)! ... [By the way, Ms. 'Midnitesun' chose exactly the same place as to what this 'penning' reminded her of!] |

SEA, I adore Yosemite! It was my favorite place to go camping and hiking, and my inspiration for some sketches and oil paintings many years ago. (I am a huge John Muir fan, and Ansel Adams) |

This reminds me of times and places far too precious to squander. Ida |

secondhanddreampoet - isn't the meadow just tranquil, especially in the morning of a delightful spring day... BC |

This reminds me of my favorite hay field where I grew up. I loved to go there and be alone to listen to the breeze rustle the grass before it was cut. After it was mowed, I could see the tiny dew berry flowers which had hidden from the sun. A |
