Sitting here on a sandstone rock 

Enjoying the sun with blue skies above

Closing my eyes just listening 

Hearing sounds of distant traffic,

birds chirping all around 

As the water in the creek flows across the rocks

feeling the breeze against my skin.

opening my eyes as I hear people approaching

Watching a family walk closer 

Acknowledging them with a friendly hello 

They continue on, bouncing the basketball

As they head to the court.

Getting up I walk over to the creek

Tossing some bread to the ducks,

Watching them eat before leaving

Humming a song to myself.
