Carpet

A luscious carpet of green velvet
spread from this end to that end
of this beautiful, blessed earth
under the deep blue canopy above.

Lying down under some tree
feeling the gentle breeze
murmuring by, kissing my face
I don’t have any care in this world.

Lying down on my back, facing the sky
staring in the deep blue, endless sky
watching the butterflies flying around
listening to birds.. singing their lazy songs.

Will someone take me as a fool
if I confuse myself with these creatures
and think all I have to worry about is
how to find my nest in the evening…
