There was this meadow… it stretched for miles and miles… all the way to the big blue sky that hung almost, above it, like a horizon on canvas.
Yellow flowers, scattered all around, amidst the soft green grass, made the meadow look like it was dappled in sunshine….
And lying right in the middle of it, looking up at the clouds passing by, the birds flying, the blue sky – you and I.
Om… and I’d look to my side, arms stretched out in abandon like we were bathing in the Sun… finding your eyes, finding you, lying next to Me…
Yes baby… you answered
I love you…
And I’d smile…
Oh yeah? You said, tilting an eyebrow…
How much Shanti?
and I’d roll over like a stack of hay, right on top of you…
And I’d kiss you like we were the last two people on earth and there was never to be another and you’d hold Me as I was, bringing Me even closer.
This much… and then some
I’d say…
Wow… Shanti – recovering from our kiss and me lying on top of you, with my feet in the air like I didn’t just do that to you…
That is quite a lot sweetheart
And I’d lie across you…
my arms clutching at the grass.
Do you think we’d ever forget Om?
How much we love each other?
Even if, we did the worst things to each other, or got tossed around and forgot ourselves or, had some kind of strange mushroom that made us go wonky for a second…
You think we’d ever forget babe?
Never.
You’d say.
Very seriously, in this pastel painting of a field of green.
It wouldn’t matter – what you did to me, what happened to Me and if the Sky turned upside down on its head and the land right side up –
I would never, ever
ever
forget, how much I love you.
Me too… I said.
I’d just know.
You nodded.
How much do you love me Om?
You see all these flowers in this meadow Shanti that stretches for miles in all directions…
if you added up all the petals of each flower… it wouldn’t even be a grain of sand in the Ocean of my love for You…
Wow Om… I can’t even fathom…
And you’d smile at Me… looking down at you, in my favourite spot,
on top of you.
Then let Me show you baby…
And… You did…
That much… you’d whisper
And I
Believed it.
- Shanti ♾️
