My happiness is a field
And a butterfly net.
In my field I can lie
On my back and look at the sky
Watching the cloud picture-show,
While the breeze coaxes brave blades of grass
Into tickling the bare soles of my feet.
A fly lights on my hand
To be gently shooed away, and
To gently sneak back when I stop looking
And resume it's therapeutic crawl.
My butterfly net, with a mind of its own,
Idly catches the thoughts that are lazing
Through the air on the breeze.
In my field I can lie
On my back and look at the sky,
And chew on some mental cud.
