blackbird sat three blackbirds for blackbirds
splash fight bright day water and dance
watch me swim water my friend today is like that
i should mention small achievement because i like to hear it
let me rest this was blest with cheers
life well-lived the summer days i thought
in the cloud with colored frogs timestamped logs
a second chance full of gratitude says the alligator
to garden underneath the sun i will go on
didn’t expect a clue turn up wherever they may disguised that day
among blooms i saw and gazed
clear cool placid pool danger rests
down drifts white and blue through the trees
gentle water flow tinkling fall like water
snow falling lighting bright pillow soft
great trees in forests in silence
the refrain rushing in was a tune
on flowers and others purple abounds
many a day they walk they play
the moon of men love’s intentions
the numbers change too early to go or too late
things are said will have to learn to become one
bright flowerets stars and flowers games of flowers
they care for me they help me they give me shelter
blossoming anyplace flowers lift the mood perfect by nature blooms perfume
living world music at dusk young wine
magic in the mountains the candle glow be enough for me
lovely arch span the sky rain swept by
and will live and will fly and will fly
land was there before the land then things began happening fast
