Earthly Sights

Early morning rain just whets the earth's appetite

Smell of the wet earth casts a spell

Newly laid road like the black carpet, end to end, welcomes

I speed up the cycle, not that of life, momentarily free of strife.

I slow jog one step at a time, I hear the temple bells chime 

Flying high, eagle in the sky, on the ground it eyes

Wind chill, mind not still, with words I unwind

I see a butterfly with flutter in my heart 

Swollen with pollen, joy flows out like lava molten

Energized, my spirits rise high, in benediction, I let out a sigh.
