< Hay Ride >
Hay Ride
Pulling me up beside you,
in the sun warmed hay
Falling back together into the oat straw
thick prickly cushioned wagon
Grins rupturing into galloping giggles
Rolling back and forth with the wagons jiggle
With the stomping of the hoofs as the horses snort
Treading the trail, as they gently pull the cart
Lying so close with the sky in our eyes
The blueness pouring down around us
Solar rays grazing and teasing our flushed faces
Farm air so pure, a heated coolness laced with lilies
Our nostrils fill with scents of dirt and rising dust
Distant streams bubbling misty waters
The breeze of Cows and pigs mingled with chicken coops
Honeysuckle spewing its nectar in a fragrant trail
The world is ours today, bumping and riding in heavenly hay
Carefree hearts filled with natures way
Chirping meadow larks creasing the sky above
They sing of love.
Buzzing bandits chasing for access to natures breath
Teasing the flowers to surrender, their tender breast
To touch, and take their swollen treats
Nibbling and sucking their pollen teats
Wooden wheels hitting a stone, jerking our ride
Thowing me into your arms, at just the right time
Your lips brush mine, touching my nose
A gentle breeze, a tickled sneeze
Blocking out the sunlight with my honey long locks
As I lean to kiss your waiting lips, your rosey cheeks
Repaying my tease with your firm embrace
Rolling me over in the tufts of hay......This summer day...
