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.
