High in the alpine meadow
as flat on my back I lie,
my privacy is absolute
surrounded by the sky.
The blue lupines around me
in wild abandon grow.
Loveliness so unearthly
must be Heaven's over flow.
Sole food for the blue butterfly,
lupines survive the winds
and snows of mountain meadows
until the winter ends.
God gave them everything they need
to live a short life span,
the lovely flower and the butterfly,
far from the eyes of man.

Dear Joyce, this is totally after my heart ... so very beautiful! And it brings back memories of alpine meadows, for which I have a tremendous longing.

Love,
Margherita

lupines in a field
early to midsummer blooms
relax in their midst

Joyce, these are one of my favorite spring flowers!
