way up high, unknown to my untrained eye...
if I were smaller I would catch a ride...
if I were younger I would fear the sky...so...
from my vantage point lying on the ground,
I can see all around me and in between the
clouds... where the rain comes from, I suppose,
but not today as it is as clear as it can be and
for some time the sky has not been this way...
but today... it is clear and beautiful... and I
imagine me as an angel, flying here and
there... without care... until my bidding is
required... and then I dart away as quickly as
I had appeared... on the ground, I lay with the
tall grass tickling my fancy and my ears and
spot an upside-down animal approaching
from the side... onto my elbow I raise myself
and once our faces meet, I realize we have
meet before in some distant dream I had when
on the ground I was lying and fast asleep I
went only to be awakened by this same one...
my eyes closed involuntarily to block out the
sun and when they re-opened, I was alone.
