The sweetness of doing nothing in a day
On umber earth and mid birds singing in spring.

Spending leisure time in a suspended
Bed hung up by each end between two trees.

We sit gazing at the heavens in the clear night sky,
A theater of dancing stars flitting with the moon.

Hymn lull of tickling leaves as the breeze blows
Through; its slender tendrils raking  through.

Soft glow; against the wakeful night darkness
As the moon dappled light pirouette on our face.
