~if you did not see me standing underneath the sky, the moon, the tree, on the verdant canvas with earth's quenching water, it is because we are 'one'~

joy of another day

i welcome that mine eyes opened this

day, my breath is deep and my heart

still beats, so i shall embrace this morn

while in my ear i hear the birds song

waking today says to me that my doings

here on earth are still welcome and so

i shall sing, with the birds, for all to hear,

that my words to my writ will be read

in that i have awaken another day fills

my heart with joy, lifts my spirit, and so

it dances knowing that this will be a day,

for me, one of new beginnings

i shall not forsake this privilege, this gift

and i will smile at the sun, feel the breeze

on my face, walk on river’s banks and sit

underneath a tree to listen to its wisdom

i shall then wander back to my abode to

cook a meal for my wife and me that should

sate, go and sit with my arm around her

her, whispering in her ear what my heart feels

how it is filled with love for her, our little poodle

laying at our feet, as i lift to read the book 'The

Key to Immortality' as she closes her eyes, her head

resting on my shoulder

i stare at the pages, not able to read but to

ruminate upon this gentle moment of how the

simplicity of this day fills my heart with joy and

wish that this could be shared by all
