Today,
I made a choice...In the quiet stillness of my mind.
to let nothing keep me from the essence of this unique day.
Today,
I have decided to enjoy this day for what it’s worth.
I have decided to appreciate what was already in motion,
to create no commotion,
and silently feel my emotions.
Today, I will not be led astray I will receive the grace
of this abundant day. I hear as I listen,
I envision as I see. I inspire, as I speak
I appreciate as I spectate.
The birds provide symposiums in an array of songs for my enjoyment.
Today, I have chosen to be the victor as I gather my thoughts,
and write them to the sweetness of their
various harmonies, the birds enlighten my presence with
the symphonies, they sing as they entertain me each with his own song.
This morning I was awakened by bird’s songs delighting me with melodies,
I the guest of honor lend precocious ears to their cause.
Tweeting, throaty rhapsodies calling- calling.
Others join in with renditions that blend perfectly as the day begins.
Next,
the babbling of the water in the brook adds a rush to the thrush of the warbler’s song.
The sound of water fills my emptiness as it flows
magnificently
to flush the streams of my captured soul.
Today
I become at one with nature; the water and birds have effortlessly nourished
my soul and restored my integrity so...
Today
I have lived harmoniously without concern for whatever may come tomorrow.
Because
Today
the birds sing and have decided to listen intently.
