Joy
Night's mist kissing the treetops goodbye
As first beams of the morning smile
The caw of a crow and the blare of a jay
This new days symphony styled
Songbirds joining in like soft little kisses
Their melodies cascade in my mind
The stretching of petals as flowers awaken
Sweetening this new piece of time
Sunrise searching for the forest floor
Being led astray by the leaves
A dappled painting of light and shadow
Giving darkness her one last reprieve
The world is reborn and I witness its birth
Scenes etched in my soul for all time
I give thanks and revel in my greatest gift
The simple joy of being alive.
