Watching the Clouds

Sitting here on the grass

I just watch and wait

There doesn't seem to be a thing to do

I look up to the sky

And watch the clouds roll by

The only sound I hear

Is the sound of the dragonflies wings

They hover and fly, at a pond nearby

I shield my eyes from the sun

And watch the clouds roll by

Each breath is like my last

I think of moments, I recount

My past becomes my present

As the day rolls idly by

And still I sit here

And watch the clouds roll by

I remember days in my life when I used to go and sit on a grass bank not far from where I used to live and just lie back and dream, most of the time with my eyes open.  Its amazing what you think of when you just watch the clouds roll by.
