Leaps follow glance,
free will acts smart.
Leap towards chance,
follow full heart.
Leap with a dance,
form a new start.
Leaps shake off trance,
sorrows depart.

Embrace being,
all that will be.
Embrace feeling,
spirit flies free.
Embrace meeting,
true self with glee.
Embrace healing,
the world eyes see.

Beautiful place,
stands high on stilts.
Beautiful space,
warm as soft quilts.
Beautiful pace,
peace never tilts.
Beautiful grace,
reflective gilts.

Time to forget,
throw past away.
Time to reset,
find better ways.
Time to offset,
old darker days.
Time to accept,
golden sun rays.

For goodness sakes,
thoughts need break,
as despairs shake,
hopes re awake.

Peaceful brisk air,
releases cares,

Mural built new,

surreally true,
cheerfulness grew.

Smile kisses face,
a state of grace,
delightful place,
sorrows erase.

Sorrowful crow,
time does not slow,
negative goes,
where your flight flows,
as cold as snow,
on naked toes,
fears seems to grow
where deep caws blow.

Unique sounds blow,
positive grows,
from head to toe,
as cool as snow,
luck always flows,
great wisdom goes,
peacefully slow,
beautiful crow.

timeout from noise,
lock it outside,

Colorful sun light,
kisses my head,
beautiful sight,
floats up ahead.

Soft musical sounds,
droplets form words,
deeply profound,
inwardly heard.

Emotions, once shut,
finally see,
bruises and cuts,

Wisdom offers truth,
wounds swiftly heal,
no need for proof
feel what is real.

Intricate design,
every heart owns,
forms a great life,
from what is known.

Bright umbrella love,
hug so tender,
covers above,
joyful splendor.
