We go to see the lavender.
\nWe wade through the tickle of summer grass and pillowy fern,
\nAs the river burbles beside us.
\nYou raise your face to the sky and the breeze ruffles your hair,
\nThe sunlight dancing in your eyes.
\nWe hop the old, broken fence bordering the field,
\nAnd we laugh as the mud-stiffened cuff of my jeans catches a post.
\nWe walk, we wade through the magnificent purple sea;
\nWe flare our nostrils to savour its perfume.
\nIt stretches, vast and surreal,
\nEnding only at the forest ridge, grey in the distance,
\nAnd there is bliss in the laugh you release to the wind as you tell me
\nYou\u2019ll never forget this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
