'-Hammock-'
Suspended by some nylon strapped to a tree
With just the sky and me
Peacefully lonely
An escape from responsibility and society
Where I can breath
With my thoughts
And the air
Chilling away every care
The stars are bars
Laid across the sky to keep me in my prison
Of peace
Till I wake
To the morning sky
My peace will fly
Back into its cage
For the day
Where it will stay
Until the sky goes gray at the end of the day
I go to work and dirty my hands
I dirty my feet across the lands
I then retreat to my nylon
Knowing that my sweat is gone and work is done
And my peace will fly
Back into the sky
Painting pictures for me
As I smile with glee
And exhaustingly breath
To my pillow I cleave
Till the the morning
When the birds sing
For another day
Where I work my best
Then lay down and rest
I say
With much love
Thank you
Dove
