Today had been a busy one for Yorick. Not because he had a lot to do in particular, but because he had been wandering around the hill sides in search of inspiration. He was looking for something, anything that might give him an idea for a song. Such cliches as the warming rays of the sun or the gentle breeze on a spring day simply wouldn't cut it, in his opinion. He wanted something original. Something more unique. The trouble, was finding it.

The sun had long since set as he quietly walked over to the treeline of a nearby forest. Most of the trees surrounding him were deciduous in nature, but the one under which he chose to rest, was one of the very few evergreens he had encountered during his search today. As he lay there under the low hanging branches, he looked out across the hills he had just left. The moon shone brightly overhead and illuminated the grass as it rippled in the slight breeze.

The night was peaceful and quiet. Perhaps all he needed was rest. IN the morning he would try again. With only the stars for company, he lay his head down as he waited for sleep to come.
