Mine eyes opened this morn with elation, being
comforted by the Cardinal’s mellifluous song and the
Blue-Jay’s caws, who stick around even in the cold of
winter, and with the white of snow covering branches
of conifers, maples and oaks, they ornament Winter’s
canvas with the radiance of crimson and blue~
My heart flutters with joy when awaken to this, for it is
a gift of one more day upon this floating verdant and
azure mundane abode, where my body is fortunate to
reside upon with the wealth of many years’ longevity,
sheltering the life of my soul, allowing my spirit to
dance, as a partner, to life’s verve~
Yet, beyond this gift of beauty, what I am heartened
and most grateful, is to being witness to life itself and
sharing the love of hearts, for having been given to me
whilst I have been capable of reciprocating, whether
in the sunlight or moonbeams of a gentle Spring, but
mostly when needed, in the harrowing storms of Life~
~be kind, give, Love, in this new year~
