Idyll (old poem of mine)


a/n I found this poem burried deep in my poem file. It was written in February 24, 2006. I guess I feel indifferent about this one, but I hope you enjoy it anyways. :)


Idyll

Under the shade of the old oak tree
I would sit by the stream to see the fishes swim
Happy little fish, swimming to and fro
going nowhere in particular
I would lie on the bank of the stream
and listen to the gentle trickle
of the water gliding over the rocks

Under the shade of the old oak tree
I would spot a red bird
flying overhead
perhaps on her way to gather food
I would listen to her lovely tune
as she flitted in the air
flying from here to there

Under the shade of an old oak tree
where I would spend many days
I would ponder of life
I would ponder of love
and what dreams shall await me
When I once again,
drift off with the gentle rustle
of the breeze
