Peaceful Afternoon

One bright afternoon

I laid on the cool grass

And propped myself against a sakura tree

In a field of many others

I took pleasure in the dappled sunlight

Filtering through the beautiful pink leaves

The sweet fragrant smell of cherry blossoms flowing around

In the warm summer breeze

Songbirds tweeting and rustling among the trees

A perfect atmosphere

A perfect day

I closed my eyes to simply lounge in my surroundings

Slowly drifting off into a blissful sleep

Truly, I was at peace
