The sun is engulfing

everything

the birds are twittering

I see the awesome design

the sky is a perfect

shade of blue

can only be the

red of the fox

the mama fox

the one that protects the young

so powerful

and yet,

so fragile

not wanting to stop

it keeps going

and going

flowing,

gushing,

rushing

going faster

and faster

never at the end of its journey.

Every place I walk

Stars shimmer upon my feet

Yet I don’t deter

#2

Filling me with the glow

The heavens shimmer with light

I let myself go

#3

Where furniture was

stands the bright spirit of Earth

He welcomes me in

#4

Beating upon his

Chest , he sends out messengers ,

On light feet of grass

#5

The water, shimmering and clear,catches my attention.

I flip through my notebook and realize, that I do not care for anything.

Any gift, any food, and drink, any thought.

Thoughts rush in and out of my head like a river, flowing and flowing like a stream.

I let go, drop my book, and just stare into the water, and see my reflection, all grimy and scratched, all bruised and bleeding, but I don’t care.

This was my moment, not like any other moment, when I was just grateful that I was alive.

the fire of a new beginning

soon to come

the trees their buds bursting

the lakes coming to life

the fields sprinkled with wild flowers
