Lemon grass and lavender
Queen Anne’s lace and borrowed pearls
Mother nature’s open door
To watch the saccharinum twirl.
Tis a lovely lover’s season
When the heart goes out to play
Giving butterflies and goosebumps and her secrets, all away.
The soft breeze blows through the tall sweet grass
Sings a tune to fall in love
The willows and your guard bends
Underneath the stars above.
Sweet surrender sure comes easy
When the moon is on the rise
The way the wind is teasing
Sweeping starlight from your eyes
Best beware her wiles and fancy
Lest she captures your heart too
For you will not stand a chance
If she comes to enchant you.

Lovely absolutely lovely!!!♥️♥️💕
Omggg, this was so wonderful !
Mother Nature sure is enchanting & more than capable of sweeping me away. The only thing better would be to be in the presence of one whose mere existence in my life causes all Mother's beauty & wonder to fade into the background. (Or is it that to which you refer, lol?) One question: did you mean "saccharinum" or "saccharum"? I could not find "saccharinum" in a Google search, only "saccharin" (yech) & saccharum (tall, reed-like grasses)
Beautiful.
Beautiful, Kelli!
