And Then I Lay My Head Back

And then I lay my head back
in the cool green grass
And all I could see was
the blue sky and rays of sun
And I was breathing deeply
and I closed my eyes
and I thought hard
I thought of the sun beams soaking into my skin
I imagined it was raining
drops hitting my forehead- pitter patter
Sitting in a tree top
on top of the world
the wind blowing in my face
The beach in Maine
with calm waves and smooth rocks and sand between my toes
I was playing my cello
hearing the melody spilling out of my fingers
I was singing on stage
And then, I started to feel the magic
The magic you feel when you are on a hay bale in a field
watching the sun go down
Alone or with someone who is special to you
You feel the magic I started to feel as I felt
the cool grass come back
And I opened my eyes and the sky was dark
and I was wide awake and as light as a feather
For I had truly melted into the earth
