 Daydreaming While basking in the spring sunshine to-day, I let my thoughts simply drift off and away. I closed my eyes against the intruding bright light And saw myself as a yellow bird kite. Dipping and diving twirling in sail, Robins and blue jays expertly chasing my tail. Then my thoughts changed and I became an escaped red balloon. Rising up higher and higher Delighting the man in the moon. A snap of a twig - I'm velvet butterfly blue. Blending with an azure sky - From garden to garden I flew. A shift of my mind I was back on the ground. As Peter Rabbit dutifully making my rounds. Candy eggs of all colour I hid with such pleasure I was giving children joy And memories to treasure. With my egg basket empty A cloud blocked the sun And I was back to reality From whence I'd begun. . . . . Chris Barker April 2003 ~~~~~ |

Chris, A good day for that! Lovely write. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
