chasing shade

Found that perfect spot

Sunlight cascades through the dew brushed leaves

Beyond the hulking trunk, a sliver of shade awaits

Nestled against the trunk’s base, I steal this shade

And start a journey through the book

It’s everything that this escape needs to be, the pages turn

Riveted, hours pass

Shifting every hour to chase the shade around the trunk

And the pages keep turning...until the sun sets 

Where soft orange hues illuminate the final page turn

‘The End’
