I lay upon the short cropped grass <br />beneath the shade of an oak tree <br />and watched the clouds which slowly passed <br /> across the sky towards the sea. <br />I wondered idly should I stroll <br />towards the cliffs above the sea. <br />Where I could watch the breakers roll. <br />the waves in motion ceaselessly. <br />The lazy buzzing of the bees <br />Persuaded me that I should stay, <br />just where I was and take my ease. <br />Tomorrow was another day. <br />An afternoon of indolence. <br />Stress therapy without expense. <br /> <br />31-Jul-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nature-cure-for-friend-thad/
