A Day of Nothing


Down by the grove
where I had once drove,
I would sit under a sycamore tree.
The wind would blow,
thoughts would flow,
and the bird sung a song for me.

The sun would burn bright,
shine away the night
until it was time to leave.
Remembering those days
in the hot summer haze,
I would sigh and reprieve.

I rejoiced in those times,
when life had no lines,
and I knew no malcontent.
Missing my naps in the grass,
I can only reminisce through glass
of the days of a youth well spent.
