Pink clouds like an angel’s wing
Adorn the skies above my head
Beautiful songbirds surrounding sing
Lush green fields toward the forest spread
Ephemeral are the pastels of dawn
Delicately morphing into day
Oranges, reds, and pinks soon gone
Disappearing with the sun’s first ray
Transformation at the heart of change
Guiding toward our ultimate mission
What we encounter will rearrange
Our perceptions and our volition
The pathway within is the way out
With love and compassion at the core
Harmony and peace give us the clout
To find the highway to Heaven’s door
Beautiful message on the eve of my 69th birthday…mahalo!
