Silver streaks of zingy songbirds
and choral trills.
Orioles in Scarlet -
gorgeous carolers of
dawn canzonet with a sapphire score.
Rich viol spells of melodic melody
they engulf my twisted skysill
featuring lavender gold and
honeyed agate spring odes
silky lilac skylight accents.

I'd rather see her from afar than not see her at all
Across the room, three tables down, her presence did enthrall
Captivating, dressed in black, stood out from all the rest
An air of quiet elegance, pure beauty did attest
With class and grace she walked across the floor and took her chair
And though I did not sit near her in spirit I was there
Charmed by her existence, soul aflood with zest
Whenever I would catch her eye my heart leapt in my chest

Watch time now groom
Such floral blooms
Watch zesty zoom
To flood each room
Seize moments here
In grip of cheer
As happy dear
Purges all fear
Look beyond things
As soul now sings
Of precious spring
In carefree flings
In-sync each part
Live lovely start
With poise of heart
As wonder arts

Our time is brief
Don't waste on grief
Wear a fond smile
As good cheer styles
Touch brings a feel
Of pulse that thrills
Seize that sure zest
Where love works best
Start now and here
To live deep cheer
Learn thus to be
The good you see
Zoom with the best
Your mindful quest

In simple lines
A child speaks out
Vivid and fine
As glee now shouts
Here playground sounds
Abound with cheer
Play has now found
New grounds my dear
Delight moves pace
As child meets child
To fling fond trace
As moments style
Little ones run
In circles round
With rowdy fun
Chasing new grounds
Zesty the mood
That frolic wears
With funny good
As fun now fares
So much of joy
Comes in full swing
Brief toy with ploys
That fun now flings

Feel the pure surge of joy that thrills,
Let all thoughts merge in fond goodwill.
Hope wears a face that faith works best,
Love charms with grace that channel zest.
Look up and see that rainbow sight,
Yes you can be in-sync with light.
Walk your own path and journey well,
Bear with loads rough just where you dwell.
Live each day's load with poise and cheer,
Take the high road and let love steer.
Flow with the times and dare to live,
Dance with life's chimes to share and give.
Zesty gut feel knows oomph set free,
Play with fine glow sheer happy glee.

Observe the fest of blooming jest,
Note how you feel as humour floods.
Zoom with pure fest life's wondrous quest,
Embrace what heals fond surge of blood;
Appeal funds form in vivid pace,
Live with delight that sparkle grand.
Align bold norms to fit clear space,
Note fine insight that surpass trends;
Dreams do fit play if you but see.
Zest frames the tale of happy chance,
Explore each day with beauty free;
Surge of sure sale greets sublime dance.
Touch follows feel as thoughts take time,
Yields of goodwill surmount all chimes.

Zeal works with charm to play with zest;
Endow each smile with gracious style;
Sense goodness farms the sacred quest;
Truth flings worthwhile the precious mile;
You start the flow of happy glow.
Free will can sing with liberty;
Explore and grow the path you know;
Invite fond strings of harmony;
Sojourn this earth with heart set right;
Trust your instincts in matters here;
Yes myth and mirth remind of light;
Waltz life succinct with faith my dear;
Invoke fond grace to light your way;
Truth helps you face your working stay.
