Glory Of Lights

My heart flies with happiness

Like the thoughts of a free bird

That greets me at a foggy dawn

I smile with the happy bird

As she settles on the warmth of my palm

With a stroke of a fingertip on the layers of her soft feathers

She closes her eyes

And lay her small head on the cushion of my hand with trust

I kiss her softly

She stirs

And she opens her eyes with a loving demeanor to look at me

Suddenly

She starts humming a beautiful melody of sunshine

A melody that brings love to any cold feelings

In a foggy dawn with joy

A melody that makes the sun rise with a projection of peace

And for the dawn to engage with glory

Of prairie lights once again
