What Time Did You Go To Bed ?
My Creative juices Were Flowing
I got up to go to the bathroom
You said you were going to go to bed soon
That was at five thirty
You promised me you would be up early to get a few things done around the house
I know what I said and I meant it
That gives you only less than three hours sleep
It is not quanity but quality
When my head hits the pillow
I am in la la land in know time
I sleep very well
If that's what you call it
I call it a long nap
As the conversation goes back and forth
I recall it clearly
So fresh and powerful
Any florist will tell you
The smells of flowers heighten all our senses
I am up like I said I would
My eyes a little blurry
My thoughts never clearer
I look across the yard
What I see
Is a field of light green
Natures biggest green blanket ever made
How can I not love something so simple
Yet filled with so many interesting tidbits of gooodness
The birds walk free
Pecking deep into the hardened soil
Not only to find what they are looking for
But enough for them and a dozen of their friends
A mini paradise
I like to walk out and feel the soft cushion under my feet
Tiny, little wavy strands of padding just for my toes
All my life
My feet have never been treated so well
My feet lead me all through life
Forgotten about on a regular basis
What makes this grass so special
It hasn't been watered or pampered like the worlds finest golf courses
Even though in does my body wonders
When I walk
I feel connected to way under
Far into the earth
As if there is so much more than what meets the eye
As I try to explain it
My wife less and less pleased
She said I am going now
What are your plans now ?
I will see
It is early yet
I don't dare to tell her
My head is one cloud of the greatest of all thoughts
You want to water the garden before the sun comes up
That's the plan
As I scratch my hair and push the next army of personal pleasantries gently aside
I have to stop dreaming or I will get nothing done
What a shame
To put an abrupt end to such an unforgettable chain
These words describe all my impeccable thoughts
Where do they fit in the scale of things
They are lighter than feathers and tilt the world ever so slightly
So whatever direction we pick
Nature is soothing us from the outside and later from deep down in
