Celebration

Celebration

Can you sense new dreams arising?

Can you feel a radiant hope anew?

Don’t you feel there is a new day dawning?

Can’t you hear the morning dew

Singing a new song?

A song your heart has been singing all along

Yet it seemed there was no one else to hear it

But now it’s been heard

It has risen to the heavens like a hummingbird

And has fallen to the earth like an eagle

Powerful and windswept

Magical and momentous

Your hopes and dreams have come alive again

The colors and lights and sounds are friends

That have joined with you on the journey

I am glad to be watching this happen

A river from heaven overflowing its banks

No longer will we walk the planks

Of harsh and bitter judgments

No

No, we will walk through meadows of poppies

Baby’s breath

Fields of lupine and gold

A greater story will begin to unfold

As we walk on through the color fields

No sword, no vine, no thorn, no shield

Will keep us from the heights

We will dance and sing with all our might

For all our might will be easy

The sounds, the lights, the smells all pleasing

Will be the order of our days

So won’t you join me in this fray

This raucous celebration?

I’d really like to be with you for at least another hundred years…
