Tell me... What you see
Now
Close your eyes
going to count down from ten
and then…
10… there's a tree can you see
the leaves as it catches the light in bright and dappled beams (nods),,,
9... fluttering in the breeze,can you feel
the breeze as it teases your skin? (nods),,,
you stop awhile and listen to the rustling of
the leaves,sounds like the sea (nods),,,
8…past the tree there's a green gate- your doing great
7…release the catch open the latch - good
6…you are walking down a path of grass
5…the grass feels cool beneath your feet
you carry your shoes 'nd socks in your hands-
there's a satisfying crunch as you step on fallen leaves
4….can you see the lake?.. surface clear
as a mirror; birds are circling overhead (nods),,,
3…there's a house by the lake and red boat tethered to a pole
2…you walk to the door you have a key
1…you put the key in the lock and turn
the door opens…
What do you see?
Tell me, what you see…
