Today I Heard the Birds
TODAY I made a choice...In the quiet stillness of my mind.
to let nothing keep me from the essence of this unique day.
TODAY I have decided to enjoy this day for what it’s worth.
I have decided to appreciate what was already in motion, to create no commotion,
and silently feel my emotions. TODAY I will not be led astray I will receive the grace
of this abundant DAY. I hear, as I listen, I envision, as I see. I inspire, as I speak
I appreciate, as I spectate. The birds provide symposiums in an array of songs for my
enjoyment.
TODAY I have chosen to be the victor as I gather my thoughts, and write them to the
sweetness of their various harmonies, The birds enlighten my presence with the symphonies
they sing as they entertain me each with his own song. This morning I was awakened by
bird’s-songs delighting me with melodies, I the guest of honor lend precocious ears to their
cause. Tweeting, throaty rhapsodies calling- calling. Others join in with renditions that blend
perfectly as the day begins. Next the babbling of the water in the brook adds a rush to
the thrush of the warblers song. The sound of water fills my emptiness as it flows
magnificently to flush the streams of my captured soul. TODAY I become at one with nature ;
the Water and birds have effortless nourished my soul and restored my integrity so.. TODAY
I have lived harmoniously without concern for whatever may come tomorrow. Because
TODAY I HEARD the birds sing, and have decided to listened intently.
