Daydreaming

This probably sounds odd,

but that's never stopped me before,

this is one of my favorite parts

of my yard.

The inner little girl in me

has always imagined

it a haven

for fairies and gnomes.

If you look very closely,

can't you see them scampering up

and down the limbs and vines?

It seems to be their private

playground.

I've always wanted to sit under

these to daydream.

I just didn't want to disturb the fairies.

(fessing up...the real reason I don't sit there...wood ticks!)

After turning another year older,

I had a realization in viewing my special spot.

It seems to me to be a metaphor

for life.

Reaching.  Falling. Twisting.

Gnarly. Strong. Turning.

Plummeting.

Aging. Flaking.

Solitude.

Enough of real life.

I'm out to chase fairies.

Enjoy YOUR day!
