A Gypsy Cloud

On lonely paths I often roam
 Through meadows and over hills
 Like a gypsy cloud 'neath a blue sky dome
 And through a  field of countless daffodils 

 I stop to watch this field of gold
 As they sway lithely in the breeze
 Then I move on as new paths unfold
 Heading home through a maze of trees

 And in quite moments my thoughts would drift
 To that resplendent field of daffodils
 To my weary soul they give a lift
 This treasure trove of golden thrills

Those daffodils in my mind do gleam
 As I slip off in a cloud of dreams

Contest: Prose vs Poetry and the classics
Rewrite of William  Wordsworth poem: - "I Wandered Lonely as a cloud"
