Your beautiful poem reminds me of a field across the street from my house that is hayed several times each summer. I'm always so sad the next day because the richness of the birds & butterflies is gone. Hmm, maybe I'll have to write about that.

There's so much life in your poem to populate that lush Van Gogh scene. I can almost see the wheat stirring as the critters are busy diving, hiding, singing and weaving. Beautiful!
