While lying in the grass, dreaming
I felt a gentle breeze
A milkweed silk floated by
Suddenly I was aloft too
And someone had joined me
In white painter pants
We skipped along alfalfa tops
That quickly gave way
To a pond and Lilly pad flowers
A turtle stretched his neck to see
And a frog just missed us with his tongue
We laughed at how silly it had become
It was the perfect date
We drifted higher into the trees
By a nest of hungry baby birds
Droplets of water fell from the leaves
And we dodged them by leaning together
Then we passed through familiar gardens
Our miniature view brought out beauty
Exceeding all we could ever ask for.
But the dream had to end
As we lighted onto a porch
Where the fun started
We smiled at each other
And said … goodnight.
