each day
the earth tries
to pull us down
to hug us forever
to herself
each day
we arise
like flowers––
to light the heart––
& add our sweetness
to the taste of honey
we are children
made of kindness &
sharing
to make eyes
bright
we want to flood
the sky
with laughter
at dawn
we sing to the sun––
at twilight
to the stars
& the wisest
among us
cuddle together
through the dark
