Backyard Thanks

Have I told you
how I like the dew
in grass that hides my ankles
tickling my toes in flip flops,
Ludio’s yellow outstretched wings
pretending eagle in a birdy wired condo,
Needful, that black kink-tailed,
rubbing, meow, scratch cat
and especially reaching up
to that perfect round green
with just a hint of the sunrise apple
and the crisp juicy sweet tart bite?

Well I do.

Thankyou for the read and comments. You can come visit my backyard any time. I am very lucky to have one I can walk into and close the gate--a perfect place to meditate.

You definately have a way of bringing out a vision of peace found so simply within the confines of a back yard. Bravo.
