Picnic

Sunlight peeking through shades of colors
as the breeze tease the leaves to sway back and forth

The grass is sweet, the breeze as cool as refreshing water
The warmth of the sun's rays cover my skin like a light blanket of peace

A cloud gathers, meeting in fellowship with other imaginable shapes and sizes
Bright rainbow and primary colored ships and vessels invade the skies with
flowing kite tails trailing in a dance

The shade of a large tree offers its hospitable retreat from a prolonged bath in the sun
Groups gather in circles and bunches, chatting, eating, exchanging glances while
searching for deeper connections of meaning, life and a God

A shore extending off in the distance where the sun is glistening off the pebbles,
shine from the slow retreating waters

The breeze is now gusts of wind flipping back and forth with the heated sand filled with
small pieces of bark and other hidden treasures

The small waves are tossed back and forth, choppy all across like a textured frosting of
a whipped cream cake

Circles and groups of sports form and reform
A frisbee here, a couple of footballs there,
constantly tossed around like the waves of the sea

A springtime picnic: a delightful break and what a picture to take in
