Another Tribute To Poetry Month

This is another one of my poems, in fact, it is my favorite.

Midnight Meadow

The meadow is so beautiful at midnight.
The flowers glow with a radiant color
And a smell that is extremely breath-taking.
So beautiful you can eat off the ground.
The path is green and smooth it feels so
Refreshing between my toes. It leads to
The water where the moonlight skims across
Leaving my reflection. The waves are shapely
Moving about so beautifully it is astounding.
Suddenly, I feel a breeze, what a pleasant
Atmosphere. I also feel releived, I must be healed.
I look ahead and reach out. I look back
There's nothing there for me. All I can
Say is goodbye and join hands with a smile.
There's another breeze, a cool crisp breeze
That lifts me over the shimmering waters
And takes me away at midnight through the meadows.
