After the rainstorm, I
Know today will be thrilling
I put away the horses
There will be no tilling
The land is rich and
All the soil brown
The plowing will wait
There will be no frown
I haven’t been rejected
I made the clear choice
I have been gifted and it
Is time to rejoice
I lay on a blanket and
Study the sky, looking
For creatures I’d like to ride
A few come along
Slowly, I might say
The wind has died down
They are meant to stay
They don’t look ferocious
More docile I guess
Once I am mounted,
I’ll do my best
I drift off to sleep
Have a beautiful dream
Up there in the clouds
I met my queen
We had a grand party
Numerous guests
Then off we rode
For new conquests
I soon woke up and
Came to my senses
I had fields to mow and
Must mend some fences
It all ended well
The clouds all went away
The sun broke through
It was quite a day
