a beautiful morning

i take a leisurely stroll inside my mind today.

the sky is a beautiful blue, the clouds white and fluffy. i walk along an enchanting path, both sides lined with colourful wild flowers. the fragrance emanating from the blooms envelops me and leaves me with a peaceful contentment. i can hear the birds chirping joyfully nearby and see the little squirrels running around in the distance, with their hoardings.

it is most idylic. coming up to a tall and shady tree, i lie down on the cool grass that is still damp from the dew and gazed into the sky. ahhhhhhh! it is such a luxury to be able to just lie here, gazing at the open sky and do nothing.

the sky is very cloudy today, shading the intense bright sun for my comfort. with no thoughts running around in that brain of mind, i am at peace. i feel my body relaxing and is one with the ground. my eyes focused on the white fluffy clouds just above, looking like soft tender marshmallows. so spongy. so soft. so comforting.

hey, there is one that looks juuuusssst like a rabbit. with its puffy body and pure whiteness. i can just imagine the rabbit chewing away at the grass. so adorable. soooo...ohmygawd?! there is an elongated shaped cloud, just hovering nearby. so like a slithering snake, coiled up and waiting to strike at its victim. and it even has a diamond-shaped head. a python. watching the rabbit with his slitty evil eyes as it continues to chew so innocently at the grass.

suddenly, a gust of wind came from nowhere. the clouds have shifted. i can only make out the snake now. the rabbit is no longer there. but joining the snake are more animals; an elephant, a cow and a crocodile. hey! what's the crocodile doing out of the waters?

the day has turned out to be quite windy. the clouds are moving, even as we speak. i can see the snake and the cow turning and rolling on the grass. they tumble together as the snake coils its body around the cow. the cow gives a brave fight, twisting with all its might, hoping to squash the snake under its heavy weight. i can see the snake raising his head to strike the cow. waitaminit! this is turning out to be like the discovery channel.

i shake my head to clear the images and i get up and walk off.
