where homing rivers and pigeons and swallows
and any number of sheepdogs
find themselves sniffing early morning mists
listening to sun drops sizzle over
buttercups in waffling fields
of warblers and swallows and
Lassie
who was never really lost at all,
but just stopping
for a moment
as all living things do
to listen to sunrise…
creaking floor boards
and cooing babies
and children snuggling like little sausages
in beds strewn across the world
and beans and rice
and chopsticks
and countless other wonderful things
our world orders itself with
and me too
watching Morning dip her toes
in homing rivers
shaking rainbows out of my hair
and wait a minute …
you are there too
washing your hands
in Life
before you eat your breakfast
pouring your hopes
into your favorite mug
getting ready to run like Lassie
through fields of wildflowers
Have such a wonderful day:)
