He woke me up early for a walk above the lake fish there he promised too easy to take I thought the hike would kill me straight up a winding hill but the view once up there gave me such a thrill We had been walking next to a waterfall and at the top there was a rock that looked like a perfect scooped out ball Just past that now the earth leveled out flat I needed to catch my breath so right there I sat I felt the breeze blowing so soft across my face I knew that only heaven could've created this magical place Walking now through grass knee high a whisper is all we dared loving every minute of this precious time shared the fish can see you coming he says………… crouch down low I thought he was joking how was I to know? Fish scattered I scared them all away but this was only part of our amazing day After laughing about the fish and giving apologetic hugs to my surprise and wonderment all around us were a million lady bugs They floated like fairies I couldn't believe my eyes then I saw the look of love he couldn't begin to disguise The world was lost to us it was only him and me swept up in the magic of Nature's Majesty ~SEA~ * true story!

Thanks for sharing the view. I thought that thing about scaring the fish was silly, too...till I did it. Love the ladybugs! |

Nice picture from beginning to end...well written .......those fish will always come back to their fav spot. The feeding is usually good there. I love the freshness of this poem and ya did get a little lovey dovey too didn't ya.....challenge well met! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
