A cool Thanksgiving afternoon <br />Cousins, at grandpa’s, hard at play <br />Parents, all visiting, on the porch <br />The sun shone bright, a bluebird day <br /> <br />Covering a gently rising knoll <br />Tall, latent grass, a chestnut shade <br />Sheltered there, I lay me down <br />In heaven’s warmth, to luxuriate <br /> <br />‘Twas here in tranquil solitude <br />My mind explored illustrious paths <br />And rode on waves of mellow dreams <br />At peace in a billowing sea of grass <br /> <br />© C R Clark 1/10/2009<br /><br />C R Clark<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mellow-afternoon/
