Array ( [sid] => 4111 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Serenity's Place [time] => 2002-09-21 19:59:17 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In the midst of a cool breeze blowing
Cat-O-Nine tails were rocking to and fro
Hiding behind the fog somewhere on the horizon
The sun, dipped in gold, peeked up from the lands crest
The usually obnoxious geese were now quietly flying above
Cautiously glancing downward in search of a gleam from a shotgun barrel
In it's unknowing stupidity a fly crept up alongside a bullfrog
As the croak sounded, he attempted to retreat but failed
An old rusty Ford pick up truck was steadily moving down the road
Sweeping up the dust and kicking it out behind it to scamper in the breeze
Old Johnny Redmond wide eyed and yawning headed to work
A bit of eggs still clinging to his roughly shaven face
The tires spitting the rocks around as it sped away
Scaring a black eyed raccoon back into his slumber under the bridge
Peering out through 6 foot tall drying cornstalks a Doe stuck out her nose
Must have caught a wiff of old Johnny for her tail pointed to the sky
Crickets were playing their morning symphony that echoed through the area
The turtles were listening propped up on a beaver chewed log
Dragonflies whisped across the water playin tag with one another
They must store their energy inside those long hind quarters
Ripples formed across the water as a blue gill jumped for breakfast
Breaking up the patterns of moss floating on the surface
A dark musty smell loomed in the air
Black coals on the ground were still warm from last night's fire
Broken bottles and fried chicken bones sprawled out across the ground
Evidence of a tumultuous teen party that took place
A family of bunnies tucked quietly in a nook
Shivering from the last bit of coolness that lingered
There's serenity to be found behind the wall of trees
Putting all minds at ease, it welcomes the trespass

In the midst of a cool breeze blowing

This is wonderful and brings back so many memories of my childhood.
