Clouds
On a beautiful spring afternoon
I relax—and lie down
On the soft greengrass
Breathing in the fresh smell that I can feel all around
My attention is taken up to the clouds.
For up there in the bright blue sky
Is a fluffy white world of cotton on candy animals
And castles built with marshmallow bricks.
But I must be creative and take the time
To bring this world into focus
So I take a breath
Andsquint my eyes just a little bit.
And before I know it—there they are—A big bear
Soft as a pillow, quietly curls up to sleep
As a tiny, cotton ball mouse
Jumps out from a lion's house
What a treat to spend my afternoon
With these newly found friends moving by!
