Skywatch

With a crunch of gravel beneath tires, I pulled off the dusty road and stood next to the car drinking in the beauty of this fine August day. Above, the sky unfurled in a breathtaking sea of blue, adorned with wispy clouds dancing across the heavens. In contrast a vibrant green cornfield spread out below, its emerald stalks swaying with the rhythm of a gentle summer breeze. The air carried a sweet, earthy scent, and the soft rustle of leaves whispered secrets kept inside. Perhaps children of the corn playing hide-and-seek? I shivered then laughed as I thought of the movie from long ago. 

Standing there, I felt a tug of nostalgia pulling me back to my childhood days when my brother and I sprawled on the soft grass, gazing upward, our imagination searching for pictures in the clouds. I smiled when my eyes found a fluffy bunny chasing a dog scampering across the sky. 

A soft gust of wind brushed through my hair, and I closed my eyes allowing the moment to wrap around me before returning to the car and continuing my quest for the perfect picture.
