“Now's the time
To put on the shoes I've saved for the right time
Run with wind and sail with the sunshine
I'll pay no mind to the cruel and unkind
Cause’ now, now, now's the time
The deck is stacked for the fall in for those who fall in line
Gonna make my own way, gonna keep on tryin'
Cause' life is for living, and happiness is free
Not spending my days to wait and see
Whatever will be is fine by me
Now, now, now, now's the time”

“The brave wildflower stepped outside of its comfort zone, and grew to new heights. For when inhibitions are not set in stone, new ambitions take flight.”

“Centuries of strength in each leaf resides
Above dappled shadows ‘neath blazing skies,
Growing lush verdure a silkworm’s grand feast;
Shields scattered berries strewn ripe and unleashed,
Piled verdant armor diffuses hot rays,
While ants spiral ‘round its trunk’s ridged maze,
Beaming warm smiles, summer’s brightness descends,
Butterflies and bees orbit the sweet scents;
From juice to wine, and pulp of paper inked,
Lasting as its hues dark purple, white, pink,
Arrayed like jewels across flourishing limbs;
Swaying to the wafts of soft whistling winds,
Enduring the test of time’s winding hands,
Unyielding in strength the Mulberry stands”

“Chirp, chirp, chirp, lull, chirp
Crouched, hidden in wildflowers
A grasshopper sings”

“On city harp strings ‘neath cotton ball clouds,
Pigeon to pigeon their stories they sing,
Wafting flocks gather in soft, cooing crowds;
Amid rush traffic, a prelude to spring,
One with their nature, harmony within,
Above street clatter, perched, resting their bones,
Primed for the vernal bounty to begin,
Soothing the clamor with light, dulcet tones;
Whiffs of smog-filled drafts like bellows pulse through,
Unfazed are they by our mad world of haste,
The calm bevy awaits winter’s adieu,
Unconsumed by thoughts of no time to waste,
Nature presides with unshakable pride,
The seasons shall turn with a feather’s glide.”
