Today

The birds are chirping, 
My heart leaps up for joy
For the music I hear is calming
Exciting every cell in my body

I look across the long lonely room
It’s still dark but I see some little 
Light illuminating  away the deadly doom
Prompting a fresh feeling so gentle
 
I lack words to describe exactly how I feel
But don’t worry if I don’t really say it
For you’ll see and know  it’s  so real
What I feel  deep down from the heart

What a lovely new beginning!
Today is a new day of restoration
For what I have been bargaining
From life in a quest for total liberation

Long are gone those weary days
When I lacked vision and direction
And my bones became brittle in decay
What a wretched being I was in that dudgeon!

Now my eyes clearly can see,
Far beyond the imaginary horizon
Further than the farthest stretch of the sea
Far beyond the stars and the moon and the sun blazons.
