The Warm, Hot Summer Wind

It was the young, warm summer grass
the heated summer breeze;
I walked upon the grassy hill,
a horse grazed near the trees.

***

The warm wind was pleasant
and my heart was at peace,
as some birds sang in the evergreen trees
and bright rays of sun hit my back.

***

So I lay there on that quiet hill
on the warm, dry summer grass,
and thought what a blessing it was -
to simply be.
