I Fell In Love Today

Today I awake just like any other day
The clouds are a dreary gray
Thunder in the distance
I step outside the door
The wind making a howling sound
My gaze wonders to an old Maple tree  
On a tender limb swaying with the song  
of  
the wind
Is a fragile little bird
Her delicate wings sprinkled with white
Atop her head a spray of red
As I looked upon this beauty  
I fell in love today.

Today I went for a relaxing walk in the rain
The clouds rolling across the heavens
As if racing from the sound of roaring thunder
The wind kissing my skin and playing with  
my long hair of golden chestnut  
I stand and listen to the rain
In the distance I hear the song of the sea
A few short steps in front of me
Is a child of joy
Hands held high, while spinning to
an unheard tune
Her sparkling eyes holding my gaze
A smile on my lips and a song within my heart
I fell in love today.

Today I fell asleep on a bed of roses
Filling my soul with the essence of tranquility
The one I love caressed  
my  
heated skin and spoke tender words  
of  
love and serenity
The wind and the moon
Rocking us in nature’s cradle of shaded desire
This gentle motion sending my love and I into a quiet peaceful sleep
As the wind brushes our cooling skin she sings a haunting melody
The words swirl around us like a melodic symphony  
These coveted words are a blessing to all that do hear
“I Fell In Love Today.”

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
