Lovers' Trail

Galloping through fields of golden wheat
basking in late summer's heat
Reigning in at water's edge
mere feet from a towering mountain ledge

Rising cliffs of dirt and clay
keep the rushing wind at bay

Gliding along at a leisurely walk
enjoying the closeness of lover's talk
Across the path fleet a herd of deer
flushed from cover by coming too near

I open my eyes to the light of dawn
knowing from whence my soul is drawn
Looking about at the ice cold gray
seeing the bars of another day

Into reality again I awake
wishing my freedom I could take
My dreams allow my thoughts to see
how I think my life should be

When life lowers to hues of blue
my mind projects an image of you
