I twirl my rainbow umbrella
on my morning stroll
the mockingbird who usually greets me
***** his wings excitedly
and launches into a melange of
euphonious melodies

Enrapt I also start to croon
welcoming the cooler, balmy days
after a long, hot drought

Gathering a bouquet of
moon white blossoms
strewn like delicate cups of nectar
Under a fragrant tree
I savor my dose of aromatherapy

Family of iridescent starlings
bathe gregariously in the
overflowing gullies
blessed by the recent fresh rains

Jumbo splash of rainbow red
makes my heart leap
like a dolphin
as Mr. Cardinal cruises
through the skies

We are all so very grateful
Divine Mother! Great Goddess!
For Your Precious pearls,
raindrops, heavy dew

That makes all of life go...
