Come and stay awhile with me.
We'll sit in the meadow,
watch the grass grow,
eavesdrop on whe wind
to learn what the trees know.
And in the evening,
if we're quiet and still,
we might hear the stars sing.
Let's observe the sunset,
moonrise, moonset,
and wait for the sun to reappear.
Hope the morning brings fair weather,
and if it rains, we will dance
and splash in the puddles,
turn our faces to the sky
and enjoy the downpour
while it lasts.
Stay with me 'til the sun
has circled us more times
than we could ever count.
Stay, and dance,
stay and sing,
and learn how to be still,
to laugh and to love.
We'll live 'til the world is gone.

Querido mio, this poem is amazing. I am not a person who can easily visualise (excuse the influence of my British friends) things I read. But this poem evokes so many images so easily! And nothing makes or breaks a poem like word choice...yours is simply divine.
This is by far my favourite of your works that I've read! And it gives me a ton of fun ideas...
Thanks for posting this! ;)
