A Lazy Day
The wind softly whispers through the trees a soothing melody of serenity
Lying on my back on the grass I watch the clouds dance merrily by
I start to see images appear in the passing clouds There is one that looks like a knight in battle could he be defending his true love or the king he has swore allegiance to and look there is one of a child picking a flower could it be for her mother these many more dance by My mind wonders through these images creating a story like those of my youth where fairies and kings and dragons and other wild things rule the earth The serenity calms my stressed out mind but all to soon my wondering thoughts are invaded by the soft pat of a passing rain drop bringing my reverie to and end I want to stay but soon the pitter patting of the rain becomes a downpour soaking me to the skin washing also those wondrous images from the clouds only to have them dance into my mind until another day of stresses in life push them deeply into the back of my mind only to return for more play on some other lazy day
