In the meadows of her mind I dwell

And in her heart is a wishing well...

Breathing basil in whisper’s wind       

Grayed raindrops dance golden in...

Strong coffee-scented sapphire sky

A thousand painted butterflies...

Small seeds now gifts of rainbow’s grace

Caress the smile on her sun-blushed face...

There are rooms in her wilding eyes

Within shadowed opaque butterflies...

Wings like stained glass take flight

Streaming sunlit shafts of light...

On a penstemon perfect summer day

We’ll dance and sing in flutter play...

Author's Note

While walking through a meadow I was surrounded by butterflies, as in a dream...

I am in total favor of your word choice and combinations~~"In the meadows of her mind I dwell
And in her heart is a wishing well...
Breathing basil in whisper’s wind
Grayed raindrops dance golden in..."
Your words bathe the senses and transports us to your world without us realizing for a moment that our thoughts aren't our own for a while... they are possessed by your magic pen. and we are in a butterfly meadow with you. Excellent
