Within the long grass where I lay <br />Amid the meadow by the stream, <br />I heard the gently flowing water <br />Over stones the sun did gleam. <br /> <br />On the hills that stood before me <br />Shadows from the clouds were cast, <br />I was alone but for my thoughts <br />And dreams that would forever last. <br /> <br />I pulled the seeds from grassy stems <br />And watched the birds up in the sky, <br />I felt the cool caressing breeze <br />Then saw a pretty butterfly. <br /> <br />I heard the bees on flowers where <br />The buttercups did dance and sway, <br />Beside the gently flowing water <br />In the long grass where I lay.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/long-grass/
