A gentle wave from
soft pink threads
across the morning sky

Trees smiling from
their reflection in
the rippling river

Four tiny birds
playing leapfrog
on a high wire

Sunbeams dancing
through clouds to
touch my face

Greetings arrive in many forms
Traveling from varying locations

An apricot sunset
smiling in assurance
of a day well-lived

Its warmth surpassed
only by your smile as
you walk the path
toward my heart
