Take a good look outside,
Take it all in.
The stars in the sky shine brighter than silver
The trees as dark as the night
Swing, dance.
The wind howls.
The owl calls.
The soft rhythm of the crickets.
They all call upon you.
Calling you to join them.
So you dance and swing.
You howl and call.
And not one place to do you feel more at home than right there.
In your own backyard.

That was my intention. :) I have had many memmories in my small backyard. Its where my childhood is, and I like to escape there when I miss it.
