I like the
MAGIC
  ....Of
............WORDS
The sound of them
The feel of them
The flow of them
The sound of them
Forming on your tongue
Into the unsuspecting world
The feel of them
Expressing joy or sorrow
Success or failure
I like the flow of them
Bouncing around
Ready to dance
And land
If words are abused
The magic
Will.

I walk around the park
Cognizant of the beauty
That enfolds me
Each day is a
New gift to unveil
Who knows what
Will.appear
Today a beautiful.
Blue Jay
Stared at me
From.a naked branch
Revealing a hidden
Shade of grey
And a vibrant
Shade of blue
Yesterday I heard the
Lake as she danced
In the wind
Who knows what
Tomorrow will bring
But I am ready
With open eyes
To see what I
Will find
And I can't forget
To send a thank you note
To my Creator
In my dreams

Geese are honking
Flying overhead
Time to.put
Dinner on
Owls are hooting
Time for bed
Roosters crowing
Time to get up
Cows are moo ing
Time for milking
Dogs barking
Waiting to be walked
While  cats purr
Waiting for milk
How do animals
Know what time
It is
What happens when
You Spring forward
Fall back

Coming from a
Morning walk
I saw you.
I don't even
Know you
But you looked
In your empty
Mailbox
Shook.your head
And shrugged
Your shoulders
Were you. Looking
For a special letter
One that lovers
Only send
Were you hoping
To hear from
A family member
Or were you
Just hoping even
To see advertisements
To remind you
You weren't alone
