Laying down
At the base of a tree
Looking up
Through the branches
At the sun

It is a tall tree
With many branch layers
So only some sections
Of light
Reach the grass
In between
Splotches of shade

The sun twinkles
As the leaves blow
And shift in the wind

I have to shield my eyes
With my hand
When the leaves blow
Just right
To let the sun
Shine through
