Bed of Bluebells
Poem
I want to lie down in a bed of bluebells
and forget all that
needs to be forgotten.
The wind follows the birds
flying over meadows, hills,
seas, skies and trees.
I want to smell the air
filled with violet and purple scents
falling on the perfect picture.
The squirrel
walks around the trees with a happy face
and a funny smile.
I want to let them drug me
and evoke beautiful dreams
of the yellow sun.
An ant sniffs my leg and decides
I’m not the kind of usual food
but I will do for now.
The bluebells cover my thoughts
and whisper gently
while the moon shows its face
and stares at the flesh
of the day before.
