This Fine Spring Day

Strains of John Mayer's Gravity

Fills the air

Wafting from the portable speaker

By my beach chair

I'm parked on my lawn

Catching rays of

Vitamin D

On this rare

Sunny

Spring day

I stretch languidly and purr

Like the happy feline

Lounging next door

"Lovely day"

We nod to each other

A cardinal flies by

Catching the sleepy cat’s eye

And the bird lands close to its paw

But the sun has worked its magic

For the cat doesn't pounce

As the bird pulls a worm

From the soft dewy earth

And flies triumphantly away

The sound of a lawn mower

Breaks the birdsongs

of the morning

And my soft rock sounds

of the day

And the clean scent of

Freshly cut grass

Perfumes the breeze

Ruffling through my hair

The postman stops by

To drop letters in the box

And offers a cheery good day

before he goes on his way

A Woman is calling the cat

To come home

And I swear I hear the feline groan

She stands up slowly

And flicks her tail

Then looks enviously

Back at me

I shrug with a smile

As she grumbles goodbye

And regally slinks away

Then I turn up the volume on

"It's a Beautiful Morning"

And let the Rascals

Take me back

With eyes closed

Senses in control

I'm Free falling

On this beautiful

Spring Day
