The summer breeze gently blows,
Cooling the hot, humid afternoon air.
I sit down in the soft, green carpet
That nature has laid under this old Oak Tree.

Doing whatever it is we do,
That we lose our capacity for wonder,
For dreaming.
But not on this hill.
Here, I quiet my soul.
I stare into the distant countryside
And breathe deeply.
Here, I dream again.
If only the rest of the world
Would come sit with me a while.
