On The Marriage of Charles and Vanessa

I see a soft new meadow
Firmly rooted in the earth
With new lives sprouting,
Caressed and waving
In the strong, warm, summer wind.
Light and shadow dance
Amongst the tall, thin, bending grasses;
Milkweed and tiger lilies
Blend with purple loose-strife.
Sweet clover spreads its red-white blanket,
Saying, “Don’t tread on me!”
Plants, birds, butterflies and bees
Live here in God’s harmony.
