I sat beside the lake in meditation

the worries of the world began to fade

some geese swam by in perfect V formation

I thanked the Gods for such a grand parade.

A cloud recited verses it had written

they told of torrid times in stormy skies

I understood and whimpered like a kitten

while diamonds fell as teardrops from my eyes.

The sunshine through the trees was nature’s prism

its multi-hued aurora bathed the earth

I felt the colors take me in baptism

and knew the warmth and wonder of re-birth.

I looked down at my palm and read the story

a tale of eyes that opened to the sun

then looked out on the day in all its glory

and realized my life had just begun.
