Birth of a Song

He stepped into the meadow
and many dragonflies greeted him
in the lightly slanted sunlight

His Spirit frolicked
as the new song burst
fully formed

From his lips, from his heart,
and from his grateful Spirit

Caterpillar inched along
the caterpillar path

Marked only in his mind
with determination and zeal

Doing his little gratitude dance
with all his hairy legs
every 2-3 feet or so

Oh-PAH!

A soft comfort
for a thrilled heart

The dream of full expression
fulfilled with success

A moment’s glory
a reason for gratitude

—————————-

Every time the heart blooms
another sprout comes to fruition

Spirit celebrates
by infusing new with joy

“Aw nuts!” cried squirrel
as he rolled over
in the midst of a long late winter’s nap

And he smiled with all he had
at the very thought…

Formerly known
as the dark cloud
The negative thinking
is quickly dispelled these days

with acknowledgement of gratitudes

Yes, it’s all great
and I am grateful
