Summer Clouds

Watching clouds floating

in the sky, brings me

such joy, relaxing me

to the limit.

As a young boy would

lie on my back in the

green grass watching them

for hours.

Something about summer clouds

and fresh cut grass.

As a cool breeze blows my

way and sun covers a cloud

a dark shadow appears

only for a moment, then sun

peeks down trying to get through

branches, but failing to do so,

Brandy my dog is not moved by any of

this, as long as she sits here and is

near me.  Summer clouds stay there a little longer

to keep things a little cooler

for a while.
