midsummer dreaming

By Kat Myrman 
midsummer dreaming

I drifted off to sleep
on one midsummer day
lulled by the gentle sway
of breeze kissed trees

I had no where to be
and precious time to spare
slumped in my favorite chair
to rest a spell

til hummingbirds whizzed by
my ears, now roused awake 
I smiled, sighed…they can wait
those chores undone

a sip of cool iced tea
a poem in my head
to write ‘fore I forget
this time well spent

taking care what matters
emerging light as air
refreshed, with not a care
no where to be
