I'm Stuck in this Wonderful Place ... by a.j.a. * There is no sound of motors, just the sound of rustling leaves, and birds singing, the sight of a rabbit, hopping in the distance. * Love floats in the air. * What's that I hear as I walk? The hissing of a small waterfall. * See the robin's orange underbelly, as she files. * Fly robin, fly! * Hey, Toto, I don't think we are in captivity anymore. * I'm stuck in this wonderful place. Leave me. I am happy here.
Poetic musings penned, yet again, from my 10-year-old in her imaginative view of our backyard on a summer's evening. Gee, I really need to get outside more often. It seems the muses are everywhere of late! Yet my nose is stuck to the computer screen with work. It's a very good thing I have someone who can bring all this splendor to my desk, a reminder of what's out there when you finally get a day off!
