The Middle of Nowhere

The clouds overhead linger and the wind blows through my hair, I constantly wonder how can I be amazed in such a place that is in the middle of nowhere. I love the smell of the newly cut grass and I love the sight of the sun rising, Watching the sun rise in the morning can be hypnotizing. The golden yellow in the sky shines down on my face, Taking me to an exotic place filled with life in all it's grace. I close my eyes and listen out but I don't hear a single sound, The wind blowing against me makes me feel as if I am 100 feet off the ground. Soaring through the air like an eagle or a plane, Looking down at all the animals and my horses with flowing manes. I open my eyes to see that I am still a country girl, A country girl living in a country girl's world. The end of the day is drawing near and the sun is about to set, But just because the sun sets doesn't mean the day is over yet. So I go inside and look out my window and stare at the moon up in the sky, The stars shining around the moon sparkles in my eyes. A light rain starts to fall and began to tap against my window, I climbed into my bed and became comfortable with my quilt and pillow. Oh' how I love this place, this wonderful place The place where my life goes on, The place in the middle of nowhere the place that I call home.
