Clouds
On a beautiful spring afternoon，
I relax﹣and lie down
On the soft green grass．
Breathing in the fresh smell that I can feel all around．
My attention is taken up to the clouds．
For up there in the bright blue sky
Is a fluffy white world of cotton candy animals
And castles built with marshmallow bricks
But I must be creative and take the time
To bring this world into focus，
So I take a breath．
And squint my eyes just a little bit．
And before I know it﹣there they are﹣A big bear
Soft as a pillow， quietly curls up to sleep．
As a tiny， cotton ball mouse
Jumps out from a lion's house．
What a real to spend my afternoon
With these newly found friends moving by !
