A Summer Afternoon Poem by Valerie Anderson

I'm laying here.
In the lush, green grass.
I am at peace, there is nothing to fear.
I am doing nothing, but sitting on my butt.

A light wind.
Brushes against my face.
It's whispering to me.
Saying words that I can't hear.

A twig snaps.
Just behind my head.
What would want to disturb me?
Lying here, peaceful and at balance?

A purring sound.
Like a buzzing and humming bee.
It's just my cat.
Climbing to lie on top of me.
