Ode To Life
Ode to life
As I sought the sapling
Laying it deep within the soil
And tending to its needs
I felt the divine light on me
Watching it everyday
As the clouds passed
And cast their shadow
In sweet bewilderment
Within its infinite summit
I felt the divine light on me
Watching it everyday.
Flocks of sheep strolling the hills
Beneath the boughs of lustrous leaves
The wind blowing in the distance
Causing dry leaves to float
I felt the divine light on me
Watching it everyday.
The steeple rises above darkened roofs
The pigeons swarming to find seed
Cars and buses bustling by
As dawn streaks the sky
I felt the divine light on me
Watching it everyday.
After the ravages of the day
Till dusk adorns itself
The orchestra of lives
Until the cloak of dark settles
I felt the divine light on me
Watching it every day
The echo of receding murmurations
Intertwined in the abyss of waterfalls
Reconciled in the mist of time
Searching a new destination
I felt the divine light
Watching it everyday.
As scented roses fill the air
And dew drops bring the
Promise of a new morrow
Each blade looks to light
I feel the divine light
Watching it every day.
