| I Live Today | ||
| "If we lose the dreams, then we lose the colors and the melodies." -- Anonymous | ||
| I sing happiness, to shine brilliant rays of sunshine
in the house, reflecting, refracting in dark, musty corners sleeping with memories of the past. I trill of summer, raindrops moistening my Earth, reviving dusty terrain. I play sunrises, witnessed from exotic shores, waving palm trees welcoming day's arrival. I dance shooting stars to wish upon, leaping with each intimate goal for the future. I SHOUT LOVE so that it may e c h o beyond snow capped gray mountains, against mystic moonlights, only for it to return a thousand times greater. I think ocean waves, ideas falling one on top of the other, too big to handle, too small to be complacent. I breathe peach roses, their odor a sunset, vitality folded in each dew dipped crevasse. I love, never ending melodies in Latin, Spanish, sign language, body language, universal vernacular. I sleep heaven, blanketed in comfort, bathed in illumination, surrounded by tranquility. I dream tomorrows, fresh waking hours to begin again. I live today, singing, dancing, playing, shouting, thinking, breathing, loving, sleeping, dreaming. |
