Heed the River's Flow

As the day awakens
                     waving to and fro
palm trees sway to greet the dawn
                    urging me to grow

Come outside and be as one
                        open up your mind
giving way to sight and sound
      just what might you find
  
Every buzz of every bee
                   every whistle of a bird
sings of harmony delight
  speaking not a single word

Am I then to find my place
        blessed by nature’s call to be
joining skyways steeped in blue
        can I be just really me

As the day awakens
                 one thing I do know
I was meant to see the sun
                      heed the rivers flow

Never miss to enjoy Nature's charms , either the sun's bright beams as the day awakes or the music and meandering flow of a river. Beautifully penned dear Mike.
