Everything That Breathes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8BaGbOoL8 As I watch the daisies pushing up towards the July sun I hear a song of joy being sung, for my heart alone They own an ethereal beauty and innocence that reminds me of a time when I was young like them Beautiful are their golden faces, and their stems; Those majestic trees that spread their leaves so high remind me of a golden era of wheat and plenitude strong stocks and verdant greens is all I saw ; Cascades of sunlight falling like curtains on my willow leading me to longing for scent of flowers on my pillow If I could freeze the vision of my yesterdays enmesh I think I'd frame it with my quadrant mind , alas everything that lives returns to mother earth everything that breathes , deserves rebirth and as I watch the daisies pushing up towards the July sun I hear a song of joy being sung, for my heart alone.

Yet many consider July the month of fireworks which, in all their beauty, can not be captured with digital photography, so seeing is still believing! Enjoy the view! Aloha! Rico
