Daydreams

I lie amidst a pride of dandelions. 
Odoriferous breaths overwhelm me. 
Above, a sea with white wispy phantoms 
Silently, adrift, like lost ships at sea.
I close my eyes but still see everything.  
For what's perceived is also imagined.
A subtle April breeze whispers... it’s spring.
I smile with eyes still closed then I begin
Soliloquy: I need no gallery
Nor brush and palette to paint that which I see.
All I have seen is stored in memory
And abstract thought can launch this reverie.
I lie still among these yellow flowers
Lost in springtime daydreams by the hours.
