harmony

 
the day smiled and I smile back
the wildflowers were dancing in the fields
in perfect rhythm with the wind
 
the clouds made lazy pictures in the sky
I dream of the visions they see
watching the land of men
creating art in his likeness
in contrast, the sky wore shades of blue
to highlight the actors on its stage
 
sun-dappled leaves
sang of the hot summer days
the trees raise their branches
saying quiet halleluiahs
to no one in particular
 
the bees went about their business
pollinating tender buds of the season
nature took me in her arms and gave me peace
 
the day stretched lazily on
in no hurry to go anywhere
awake in the moment
fully aware of everything living
 
I can hear the drums of the ancients  
deep in the bowels of the Earth
my heart keeps a steady beat
 
while the oceans rolled on
the tides in sync with the moon
my femininity guarded by her secrets
 
the very ground beneath us hums
in tune with the music
our Great Mother chants
all nature in perfect harmony
