I bow to Life
I prostrate full body at the sacred feet of Nature
Willowy branches of trees swaying, bending
in the spring breeze
their hearts overflowing with sweet sap
I am so grateful
You gladly share the boughs of fruit
abounding on my oak wood kitchen table
Wild forest daisies don their
vivacious, yellow Easter bonnets
dancing with rays of sunlight
nod Namaste
Salaam, Salaam, Salaam
I bow to my furry friend Rama,
to the red and black poka dot lady bug
seated by happenchance
on my folded palms
I bow to you dear reader and lover of poetry
I bow to the Light within You
