The leaf at your feet waits for the winds
Lifting it higher than the tree from which it fell
It soars among the birds and currents then lands
Upon calm waters of oceans greeting the sunrise

Lift your head look ahead
Breathe the freshness of the morning
Look upward as the sun hits your eyes
Feel the warmth, do not look down
Your new day has begun, smile, do not frown

Take a rest for a moment view the beauty nature gives
Take it all in, you are a part of the process, be alive
Listen to the sounds of water, the breezes
Watch the butterfly land on the flower's petals
It too is resting, it too lives and is part of it all




Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

  I love this, it has such a positive feeling.

Thanks, Daniel!
