Lazy Day

The water was dark and brown, two turtles rested on a nearby log soaking in the sun. A large grey heron swooped lazily down landing effortlessly while looking around for a tasty morsel treat. Overhead a squawking jay served as sentinel to warn of my intrusion into its domain. All I wanted was to sit and dip a line into the cool brown pool. Perhaps an unsuspecting fish would seek the dangling worm on the end of my line. Even if there were no takers I wouldn't mind. It just was a chance to visit the calm and quiet of that dark and cool pool as it just drifted by. Thoughts of nothingness clouded an otherwise empty mind. It was just a lazy day, warm and friendly sitting by that dark and brown pool with a drifting line. Cares drifted away like the white fluffy clouds high above. So why spoil a beautiful day.
