The green lawn
Under the willow’s shadow
Is cool and still

I take pleasure
Again on this summer day
In the simple measures
Of being alone

No one here
To tell me what to do
The time is mine
To laugh and sing
As I may choose

Or nothing at all
Save alive quietly lying here
Letting this freedom
Flow through my hair

At least both the poet and the willow still have hair!

I used to confuse being alone with being lonely, but now I seek and relish the "me" time... when nothing's demanded but all things are possible... and I'm with company I enjoy. *S*

That said... I really like this! *S*

Huan Yi - Land the plane! Stop the bus! Let me out of the car! I see a tree over there with grass under it and a wind is blowing. I'm outta here. Thanks for the inspiration HY. Namyh
