Oh Hello Kookaburra

Oh Hello Kookaburra,
visiting our local tree and just previously
greeting this morning so merrily.
 
Are you here to awaken the new day
and to highlight improvements along the way.
Seems to me to be,
a lovely sign to say, 'Keep Going',
while you welcome more potential
by always looking to the bright side.

Golden Flowers For You

May each day be gentle.
May your light shine for all others
with just the glorious goodness of you.
 
With my deep appreciation, love and blessings
I give to you these golden flowers.

The Gnomes Know The Way

How good is this?
A clean new path
where there is no litter in the grass.
It is a call to walk upon
all that's been and all that's gone
as all the rains have washed it clean
and life is as enticing as it has always been.
 
So here we go along our way.
The morning light is welcoming
and wherever we go there we are
and whatever we call echoes back
so yes,
let's just keep going along this track.
 
All is well without a map
one step and then the next
view the pictures and skip the text,
life is calling and the sky is bright
evening comes before the night.
 
The gnomes with me
are happily singing songs
to keep the pace and move along
so we all arrive before the day is gone.
 
Just look around and know the way
every one has a guide
and as this year unfolds 
many surprises will arrive
so just keep on breathing to stay alive.

Hello Bee

'Oh Hello Bee',  said the little bee
as it landed on the blue chicory flower.
'Oh Joy, how wonderful is this!
We have flowers this year,
after some seasons without reasons,
when these herbal plants disappeared.' 
 
'Previously, we counted the petals
to follow the time of day.
The numbers were different on each flower,
and some flowers would even close for a sleep.
This colour is so glorious.
Today there are only a few blooms
I will call tomorrow.
I think I will ask for a flower message,
so there is more we may come to know.
Fly on little bee',  I said.
 
Just a note to mention:
'Chicory is the flower of assimilation."
The flowers of Chicory open at 7am and close at midday.
