the stars floated in their deep black sea like wooden ships of days of old gently moving from one point to the next. and a gentle wind wisped and played grabbing autumn leaves fresh fallen from trees and took them on a loopy ride to their final resting place. and quietly i sat there under an old, wide oak listening to the everpresent symphony of the creatures of the night: a croak in the black distance, spiny legs rubbing together to rival Paginini, the low hoot of nature's oboe. and i sighed a deep sigh of exhaustion and rested my weary eyes a bit thinking how happy i was to be alive. |
