Upon a Bed of Petals

I am holding my hands over my eyes, I want to listen to what sound resides. I can hear the waves beating on the ground. The slow rhythm of each wave as it pounds. The squawk of a bird, I can hear far away. Soft whispers, as the wind has something to say. I settle back on the ground to listen. On the warm ground I purr like a kitten. The warmth I feel from the sun on my face. Thoughts are roaming through time and through space. I have a peace of mind it’s hard to explain. Like the coolest water from a short summer rain. My body settles down so softly in this land. I’m lying upon a bed of petals in the sand. - For Upon A Bed Of Petals contest
