The Arrival of a Poem

 
IMG_5280.jpg

Sometimes I think you will just come

blowing through the wind

around the bend

in the ripple of the water

brushing over lily pads

lapping at my feet.

Or the birds will bring you

Sometimes chirpy and sweet

Sometimes deep and moving

A plea.

Pick up the pen

Write my song

Feel.

Free.

There are a thousand tiny leaves

waving gently in the breeze

Sometimes I think

they are waving

at me.
