a birthday wish
Morning brought hallucinatory
clarity, as if the sun
joined forces with the moon;
the river flowed like rosewater
through afternoon,
along its flanks
the trees stood glistening
and listening.
I held a bunch of hyacinths,
white daisies and bright daffodils,
spring offerings from fields
whose vernissage exuded fragrances;
and with the flowers,
wished for the return
of joy with each new dawn,
wished each child
the chance to live
in safety, given time to play,
wished each creature on this planet
sanctuary and breathing space,
wished the world
a year of generosity...
...sent this message to the skies
with every bird that sings and flies,
wished the year
a world of generosity...
*
With warmest thanks to Nelia,
for the flowers...
Day of generosity
