where the sky and horizon meet

I lay,
surrounded by dry brittle grass,
arms outstretched,
welcoming the peace of my surroundings.
A tree to the right of my view
holds my attention
with its flickering leaves;
nature's clapping.
A flash of orange
comes into the picture as the wind
catches a black-eyed susan to my left.
A quiet buzzing reminds me
that I am not truly alone,
and a I close my eyes to better
hear the sounds.
I can hear the silent clicking
of all the dry blades around me,
and a dragonfly flitting by
tells me that this is nature's footsteps.
I open my eyes then
and stare into the face
of my furry feline companion.
There is pleasure in his eyes,
and when I get up to go back home
he rubs along my legs
as if to say, "going so soon?"
and I promise myself to come back
again tomorrow.
