Sunshine Nap
The sun like a white light against my closed, darkened lids
Warm on my salted skin
The dried mix of grass and those still green
I feel between my fingers, grazing my knuckles bare
The dance of bees somewhere in the distance
A song of mating and fury
As they bounce from sunflower to sunflower
Yellow dust gently floating in the wind
Swirling in small tornadoes to the ground below

So lovely
It’s a beautiful thing when words can make you physically feel the warmth of the sun and smell the scent of the world. Your poem is stunning with its vividness. Thank you, I really needed some sun today.
Exquisite capture of sound/light/touch/taste.
