The Moment

Alexis Plain

In a field of poppies — white and blue.

Leading with secret winks and stolen kisses,

In a field of poppies, I followed you.

Our blanket soaked up the morning dew.

The sun beamed upon the flowers,

In a field of poppies — white and blue.

The trees shook almost as if they knew.

As the wind flirtatiously swirled around us,

In a field of poppies, I followed you.

Past the mountain peaks where hawks flew,

In a spot kissed by heaven.

In a field of poppies — white and blue.

All of nature must’ve known it too.

A chorus echoed as the birds sang,

In a field of poppies, I followed you.

A reach for your shoe,

A bend of the knee.

In a field of poppies — white and blue,

In a field of poppies, I followed you.
