HEAVEN ON EARTH!

Blue. So blue. Clear light blue. It darkens in places. And it stretches from eternity to eternity. It softly beckoned me to close my eyes. But soft fleeting breeze interrupted that call. It brought with it this comforting smell. The smell made me smile. It does that this smell. It makes you want to expand your lungs and take in as much as you can. I turned my head to the side slightly, and saw green. Thick dark green. It extended from eternity to eternity. The breeze washed over me one more time exaggerating the quietness. The smell once again filled my lungs. It was the smell of earth; of mud, of flowers, of animals, of life. I closed my eyes and thought I must be in heaven.

woof. Woof. WOOF. A sudden thunder pounded its way into my slumber. it became louder. the earth quavered below me. It edged its way into my consciousness. My eyes flew open as I was attacked by this golden creature. Licks everywhere. Wet. Slurp. Slosh. wholsh. Slop. Paws walked over me, a tail wacked me twice in the face, a wet nose nudged my ribs. jolie. Jolie. JOLIE. A mans rich golden voice called the golden creature off. Only such a voice could have accomplished such a task. The creature gave me one last lick on the face and cantered with boundless energy towards the man. A Laugh. A powerfull swing. And the man had throw the ball far into the sky. He didn't even have to say 'catch Jolie' and the Labrador was already flying after the ball with a gusto. Go Jolie! Good Girl! Everything merged. The blue. The green. The golden and my father. The quietitude had been broken. But I was never more peaceful. I smiled as I got up and thought I am on earth but this is my HEAVEN!
