scoop rays of sunshine in my arms,
caressed by amber glow on my skin,
welcoming the golden taste on my lips
as I sweep through lush green meadows
garlanded by summer's bridal veil.

trees show off their delicate finery,
buds unfurl awakening from shy repose
and the river swishes her silvered tail,
necklaces of pearls strewn on her ripples,
breathless in her bubbling chatter.

clouds fly high in a dizzying azure sky,
white tresses trail kite tails chasing the breeze,
ears of golden wheat chaff my calves
as the sea of corn parts bowing in my wake
and I gather the swathes of golden rays.
