Do you ever dream

                                              Do You Ever Dream

Do you ever dream with the sound of your music playing on your headphones. For instance, I'm more aware with music playing, so I tend to play what I see around me in more detail in my imagination. It all slows down so as for me too be able to take in the world around me. So many details. I sit by a fast flowing creek right after heavy rain thunderstorm, and what I see is nature becoming more vibrant, as the song plays the colors pop all around me, the water slow for me to see what flows beneath. Turtles spinning in the flow of the creek, minnows  trying to swim up creek, reeds holding strong. I see bubbles at the bottom from the crawdads, and as the song changes, the speed of the flow picks up and now Im aware of what is beneath.  I look around at the trees branches swaying in the wind, and then like in slow motion I see the glow of sun light through the tops of the trees and scattering light rays through out the leaves, I see a blue heron fly in and land on a branch scouting the creek for food. Beautiful to just dream with the sound of music on my head phones. Do you ever dream with music playing?
