A beautiful day.....

"What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now
It was a beautiful day"

U2

From out of the burrows of deep dark ground

a shoot 

moves forward

toward the Sun.

The warmth settles over everything and 

suddenly
from one day to the next

without rhyme or reason,

an 

explosion of vibrant color and life springs forth in the world.

Tiny shoots 

spring out

leaves begin to unfold and wipe the sleep away from

their hibernating eyes,

the sun hits 

stretch occurs

and

suddenly 

buds

bloom out,

blossom out,

stretch out,

to color the world

with a symbol of spring.

Birds flutter and ducks quack,

the legs of pants disappear

and

suddenly neighbors holed up

in their winter home,

open the door,

and

step out into the world and it is a beautiful day.

a new day 

a new season

and

it 

happens all around,

flowers,

grass,

children laughing,

mother carrying new baby 

all

symbols

of life and possibility

and

I stand in awe of it all

thankful for a breath of life

that 

awakens my spiritual bones.

I breath out---yes---

it is a beautiful day!!!

happy day to all of you...
