Taking a nap (falling in love on the way)

~

Taking a nap neath an old maple tree,

north of the border to wait

Seeking the girl who was made just for me,

hoping she walks through the gate

Lavender fields bloom in colorful schemes,

as if they know it is true

I saw her once at the edge of my dreams,

it was a magical view

Praising the sun as I lounge in the shade,

feeling my heart skip a beat

Answering prayers that I long ago prayed,

wishing an angel to meet

There in the shadows that dance on the ground,

footprints I long to explore

Evergreen branches, a delicate sound,

yearning her beauty once more

Images woven the back of my eyes,

whimsical thoughts now appear

Fairytale pictures and blue butterflies,

oh, how I wish she were here

Whispering softly, sending a chill,

straight down my quivering spine

Here in my arms waits a space she can fill,

every day she is mine

Holding her hand as we walk down the row,

falling in love on the way

Maybe a kiss, then I surely would know,

why I came up here today

So, here I'll rest in the cool northern wind,

wearing a sunflower smile

Hoping to dream of this woman again,

taking a nap for a while

A painting in words!! half dream, half memory, it doesn't matter, the love and desire you show us is real
and the vivid words, most colorful as well are enough to make this a true love story...." Here in my arms is a space she can fill"... this phrase and all of them are stunning!
Hope you are well ,Will
Warmly, B

Using 'neath instead of underneath is bad writing. This is a UK problem. Please stop doing this.
