It was a green grass day in the hills
and we lay in fields that thirsted for the sun
sipping our visions of the sky
A lonely road passed by us on the way to yesterday
None who walked there stopped to say hello
too busy with their eyes ahead to the next bend
outrunning something you and I never saw following them
only their desperation to get out of the hills
and back into open sky country

Strange how easy it can be to get used to things.

No it was when I was very young and we use to lay in fields and look at the sky. It just took me right back there. The sign of a really special piece. Have a great week. Love 💕 Joni
