The canopy invited me to enjoin
To its calming comfort underneath
Down its thick cool shelter
Almost thickened to semidarkness
Amid the desert glaring sun
And as I came down to rest
Over its crawling grassy bed
I saw a bunch of bright eyes ahead
Just signaling and staring at me
A gust of instant joy swamped my soul
Oh my... charming marigolds!
They flashed on to my sweaty face
Sending a spontaneous salute
With a flying transcendental kiss
To get my instant attention
And airing a concurrent vibration
As if in a gusty hiss
They said in a silent voice
Hey- - just relax, no rush please
Enjoy this afternoon bliss!
And soon I fell asleep
In that cool comfort of the canopy
