The flower opened, The hummingbird returns. Bloom. Return. Return, return, And again, return.

Look for Joy
There She was, Pointing the way…. Dancing and prancing… So filled with Joy It spilled over into everything… The world, so filled with sadness… Was suddenly reminded it was also brimming with Love, And Peace and Hope.

Alone
Sometimes you think you are all alone…. But really, you are the bright spot in someone’s day!
Fire of life
Bright red, like flora feathers.. They burst forth reaching for the light… And they are filled with tiny green frogs! We are born of fire and water, air and earth.

Tiny moments
In a tiny moment, On a small piece of paper, Light and shadow, Sit together. As do i with You.

Light flight
The brightest yellowest being Flitted in front on me, Dashing amidst the palest purple seeds… Such bounty the world provides! Eat up every minute.

Mud
The soft snore of a sleeping dog, Upside down, belly exposed and legs akimbo… So perfectly filled with dreams and trust, How can I be made at the mud on the sheets.
