I enjoy
lying in the grass
in the open field
by the hill,
staring up
at the wide blue sky,
as the butterflies
flutter by,
and the dragon flies
zoom past my eyes.
I enjoy
The quiet
peaceful sounds
of nature all around me.
The twitter of the birds
flying around,
the sound
of tiny animal paws
thumping, beating against the ground.
the scratchy sound of a feral cat's claws,
against a tree bark,
and if I'm lucky,
the sweet song of a lark,
the occasional chipper
of the occasional squirrel
that can be found in the trees,
and even the sound of the grass,
bending in the breeze,
dancing in time
with the thousands of leaves.
I enjoy
The smells
around me;
I can smell colours,
green and blue,
with a sprinkling of yellow,
a dash of red too,
and sweetest and most delicate of all,
a spritz of purple
that comes and goes,
playing games with my nose.
And when I shake my feet
and wiggle my toes
And rub them against the ground,
I can smell the earthy brown.
I enjoy
the sensation
of the thousands of blades
of grass rubbing against me
and the tickle
of the lalang
that sometimes gets in my ear.
I love
the pleasant light tickle
of the small six legged creatures
that crawl on my skin;
ladybugs and ants,
and some which I can't name.
I enjoy
touching and feeling
all the life around me.
I love to watch the touch-me-not
close up so shyly,
even with the gentlest brush of my fingers.
I like feeling the soft petals
of the pretty flowers,
and the various textures
of the leaves,
some smooth,
some with prominent veins,
but each a pleasant tactile
sensation,
a haptic joy.
I enjoy
how the smell of nature lingers
in my hair,
long after I get up.
I love the fresh, pure air,
and how it invigorates me
long after I leave.
I could spend all my time,
just lying there,
in the grass
in the field
seeing,
hearing,
smelling,
feeling,
breathing.
I enjoy.
