Laughing
Full-body engaged
Tears trickling
In a little stream
Over pinkened cheeks
His joyous outburst
Overcame his countenance
And seeped into his bones
As heightened assurance
That Spirit had a sense of humor
The heart with wings
soars at the rise of joy
Flutters softly
at the instance of fear
and excitement
The inner angel
the butterfly of metamorphosis
the heart with wings
Spirit gives my heart wings…
The wizardry of love
Heals the sadness of heart
Balms the painful spots
Of life’s machinations
• • •
Like a wizard
he stood on the precipice
arms akimbo
the wildness of his eyes
like electricity
through his hair
Alive! With love’s fire…!
Sky growled gray
Spat like a cat cornered
Wind blustered and agitated
Shook ideas to bone
And behind
All the falderal
The sun shone gaily
Ever grateful
Ever warm
Ever light
Such is God’s love for us
One more day
Singing in the morning
Awakening to the joy
Before the rest of the day unfolds
It tints everything
A rosy warm
Even when it’s cloudy
Life is a celebration!
