Celebration

Brilliant, this day -- a young virtuoso of a day.
Morning shadow cut by sharpest scissors,
deft hands. And every prodigy of green --
whether it's ferns or lichens or needles
or impatient points of buds on spindly bushes --
greener than ever before.
And the way the conifers
hold new cones to the light for the blessing,
a festive right, and sing the oceanic chant the wind
transcribes for them!
A day that shines in the cold
like a first-prize brass band swinging along the street
of a coal-dusty village, wholly at odds
with the claims of reasonable gloom.

Evening friends. Happy Glorious Day, everybody

Rejoice In The Day

The storm clouds have passed
The sky is blue,
Earth is refreshed
And there’s a rainbows hue.
Arched across the heavens
In splendid array
Giving the promise
Of another glorious day.
Another day to laugh,
Another day to live,
To sing Gods praises
For the blessings He gives.
Another day He has made
To rejoice in His love.
Another day closer
To our home above.
So rejoice in the day
Whether gray skies or blue,
Rejoice in the love
That God has for you.
