To Lie in Wait

Rest Stop

To sit and nap on sunny Summer,s day

Waking to the wilder wonder of it all

Looking from the breezy shadow of a tree

Planted on the edge of running tide

Thankful just to be a soul like me

Who sometimes needs a perfect place to hide

From all the hustle bustle of the day

Just basking in the peace and pleasure found

And it was always here so perfect and so calm

Just waiting here forever like an arm

To hold a knowing soul within its sway

In sweet serene content  a Summer's day

this had a the breezy flow of a summer's day... I am a sucker for alliteration, and this one had some sprinkled in there nicely.. we all need such a place to hide from the face-paced energy of life.. to sit and nap.. to enjoy nature.. to reflect.. to just enjoy "being"... it is what helps that soul recharge.. renew.. and gain that knowledge and insight.. this is absolutely beautiful--from imagery, to emotion, to sentiment.. I thoroughly enjoyed..

You have written my lunch hour :) I have a beautiful tree where I go and have a picnic in my car and the breeze blows through the window just so perfectly that I do not even notice the 100 degree temps of late, birds whistle, people watching, cloud gazing kind of perfect place that just looks like a regular old parking space to someone else. It's magical neath those limbs, cool and peaceful. Perfectly captured and brought to the front for all of us to say hey! I have a place like that!
