No prompt today, just a word that popped into my head…

Today the sun shines brightly in dreamland
a musky scent floats past on the breeze
The crows were quarrelling about an hour ago
but now all is peaceful atop the trees

The creek gurgles by in the distance
as the shadows of branches dance around me
The cat stretches out in a patch of sunlight
while I search for something to ground me
