Poolside

Pool water bubbles and gurgles
from underwater jet streams
The relaxing swooshing sound 
floods into my dozy dreams

In and out of consciousness 
I drift through the laziest day
Reading, sleeping, reading, sleeping 
many hours spent this way

Resting on my hotel sun bed
feeling the breeze soft and light
Gazing at the palest blue sky
where the sun shines high and bright

The familiar scent of sun cream 
wafts along on the warm air
As I lie here doing nothing 
without a worry or care
