    August 18, 2009 — With 206 words & Read — Labelled as: Story
    My head is resting on the patch of grass my body lies on.
    Male crickets are rubbing their legs together making a somewhat therapeutic sound if you listen to it long enough.
    Dozing me off to sleep my thoughts wonder how my days have been so far, for a moment I have no worries.
    I lay there long enough that my head is completely emptied, it’s a new feeling but I give myself over to it.
    The wind blows through the field and through my hair and over my face.
    Finding its way through my clothes cooling my whole body.
    It picks up all my negative thoughts and they drift them to another place.
    As the sun is going down I feel a loss of energy and pack my things and go back inside.
    I get up and walk away from the patch, I should call it something
    that would really explain how it is in only a couple words.
    It’s special, like whenever I lay myself on the piece of grass I have entered a different world.
    The more steps I walk from the patch the more it withers, as if it was starting to miss me as much as I feel I do.
    Even the sunflowers could no longer support their heads.
    I will be back tomorrow.
