Day Dreaming

Day Dreaming

 

I sit under the shady willow tree,

My ankles crossed in resting.

Warm spring air catches my skirt

And I watch the day go by

 

Oh how I love to watch the children play

Their endless energy reminds me of past summers,

When I was once the little girl

With the scuffed knees and silly thoughts

 

I was truly happy then,

No worries to speak of

Or responsibilities,

How I long for that freedom.

 

But time keeps moving

And I keep growing,

Changing like the seasons,

I do not know what tomorrow will bring.

 

I watch the clouds

Creating a zoo out of their shapes

My imagination stirs,

I loose myself in the depth of the simple blue sky

 

I imagine that I am a butterfly,

With wings of gold and sharp magenta.

I rule the forest with my beauty and grace,

What a sight I am

 

You try so hard to catch me

But I am never within reach,

I am a limitless creature

That wishes not to be caged.

 

You may gaze upon me if you wish

But only on my special willow tree,

For I do love the shade.
