Backyard Hammock

I had a hammock underneath a shade tree. I spent many relaxing moments there. It was one of my favorite places to be. I would fall asleep, which for me was rare. Nice and wide, big enough for two. Made of canvas, wide green and white stripes. I would lay and stare at the sky, so clear and blue. It was chosen out of many different types. It was part of a beautiful backyard. Set in a pretty wooded scene. Deer at the fence, appearing to stand guard. It was a place peaceful and serene. I would listen to nature's many sounds. Making its own music, its own song. I could hear it as it seemed to be all around. In my perfect backyard world it it did belong. I shared my hammock with only one other. Watching hours pass,her eyes so blue and dusky. She was my best friend, we loved one another I miss her, my Nikita, my sweet beautiful husky. It was a special place that sadly is gone today. Circumstances told me that I had to move on. And even though it was long ago and far away. It lives in my heart, a memory, a sweet bygone
