I'M Sure Feeling Good

I’m Sure Feeling Good

Like rosy, red ripe strawberries,
I’m pulsating with cosmic joy.
Like a lark, I sing, it’s so good to be alive,
I’m a dolphin diving into the golden glow. 
I’m flirting with wispy white clouds…
did they just wink at me?
Even they know I’m feeling real good.

Swinging high in a rainbow sky,
just floating along on a silky summer breeze.
Playing with my friend gravity, watch me cruise…
there’s nothing that can bring me down!
Hello new day! Move aside, Mr. Sunshine, 
your flash has nothing over my flash…
I’m taking over - this solar system is mine!




Inspired by Nina Simone’s song “Feeling Good.”

Free verse
