Earth Cries - Heaven Smiles
White rose petals gently fall
floating down to bare ground
lilacs open inhaling the sun
essences of both waft above.
ladybugs dancing leaf to leaf
dragonflies sit alert on a post
robins skip on fresh cut lawns
old cats nap in sunlit windows
granddads reflect in old chairs
kids laugh playing in the yard
the earth cries; heaven smiles
a journey ends, a new begins.
