Harmonic Valentine

Meditating at the river,

my breathing expands,

heightening my senses.

I am aware of the birds,

singing Valentine Songs,

as they mate and then nest.

The river's fullness flows,

abundantly since the rain,

carving out it's own story.

Returning home renewed,

I follow my instincts and

hang my laundry to dry.

After juicing organic veggies, 

I savor the natural medicine of

stir-fry and warm banana bread.

Gathering laundry off the line,

my heart sings a Valentine Song

of Gratitude for friends and family.

Buzzing  bees and screeching hawks

inspire tulip, almond and acacia trees,

to burst open into blooming colors.

As valley air clarifies from rain,

my creative impulses quicken in

anticipation of returning to Spring.
