Merlin - The Magician of Time

Time is now, for enjoying the simple wonders of life.  Today, I woke up not feeling well.  I'm not sure if it's something I ate, yesterday, causing me havoc.  Sleeping on the couch, I drift into another realm of now.  I find myself in a green meadow bursting with wildflowers. A shaman comes out to greet me.  He says not a word but, hands me a pouch of special herbs. I hear the sound of a babbling brook and travel by foot down a winding path. Beyond towering trees the sun dances upon the singing waters. 

I behold a Merlin perched on a high tree limb.  Have I wandered into an  enchanted forest? Weary, I sit on the foundation of an ancient pine, resting my head against the trunk.  I close my eyes.  The sun now slipping away and the moon rising. I hear a distance voice and open my eyes. I am back on my couch and the weatherman is talking about the super "pink" moon.  Mentally, I take note, to be sure to view it before I go to bed tonight.

Our task:

Let us now bear witness to the present moment! However you experience it, write a haibun that expresses the present moment.  

 Author's note:  Today, I wasn't feeling well and in the moment drifted into a dream.
