Magical moments

Magical moments

A Poem by Daniel Dawes
"

Growing up on the farm

"
I watch the golden corn wave to the wind,
I enter the field and I'm immediately part of it,
I completely forget myself,
I'm completely lost in the moment.
 
With fingers spread I hold out my hands,
Touching life as I pass through it,
Blocks of color override my senses,
As I walk the tired worn path.
 
My attention shifts to the expansive blue sky,
Translucent clouds scattered to perfection,
I look down and realize I'm now off the track,
I walk deeper into the beauty.
 
I stop in the golden glow from above and below,
A feeling invites me to lay down,
I follow it and find a world on its side,
I observe the corn dancing around me.
 
I stare upwards at the framed sky,
My world collapses into a single picture,
Feelings of childhood arise,
Simply peace, love and the light.

Thank you for your kind comment :)
This is beautiful poem.
I love the pastoral feel of it.
My favorite line is "I stop in the golden glow of above and below."
Brilliant imagery!
