It is my way
to start the day
by opening my door
to step outside
breathe in the air
so fresh, so clean, so clear
to marvel at the clouds afloat
in skies of grey or blue — to
feel the sun upon my face
on mornings she shines through
to smell the air
breathe out a prayer
‘ere turning to my work
~~~~~~~~
how I love a sun kissed morning
especially on a chilly day
bundled up, I bathe a while
in it’s cheerful soothing ray
I notice patterns in my willow
hear music in her dance as she
sways and waves her limbs at me
while leaning on the arms of wind
The slightest breeze
Inspires my tree to
sway and dance a bit
her silent music rocks my soul
as I keep time with it
sometimes they swirl staccato
when the wind is fierce and free, but
I like it best when they slow dance
the breeze and the willow tree
